Abstract

See full text

A new multi-carriage slide screw impedance tuner uses a circular slabline, eccentrically rotating disc probes and rotating carriages allowing reducing the linear size of the tuner by a factor of 3 compared with linear tuners. The slabline lies flat on the bench table surface and the disc probes rotate at the end of rotating arms, which act as mobile carriages, forming a planetary configuration. The rotation of the arms control the phase of GAMMA and the rotation of the disc-probes controls its amplitude.
