Abstract

See full text

A compact waveguide coupler or mixer having and an input, an output and a plurality of transmission segments coupled between the input and output. The transmission segments are preferably formed such that at least one is configured in a transmission media that permits conductor switching to achieve a phase shift. In a preferred embodiment, this media is slot line strip and the at least one conductor has a quarter wavelength and includes a conductor switch that achieves a 180 degree phase shift, thereby forming, in combination, a conduction segment that induces an approximately 270 degree phase shift. Various compact conductor arrangements are presented as are mixer and coupler embodiments.
