Arditi and P. Parzen, Serial No. 286,764, filed May 8, 1952, now Patent No. 2,- 774,046, a type of microwave transmission line is disclosed comprising, in one of its simplest forms, two conductors printed or otherwise disposed in substantially parallel relation on opposite sides of a strip or layer of dielectric material a small fraction of a quarter wavelength thick. The two conductors may be the same width or one may be made wider than the other. In the copending applications of M. Arditi, G. A. Deschamps and J. Elefant, Serial No. 286,761, filed May 8, 1952, now Patent No. 2,820,206, and Serial No. 286,763, filed May 8, 1952, now Patent No. 2,819,452, filter arrangements are disclosed utilizing a section of the aforementioned parallel strip type of line. In one, spaced susceptances are provided in the form of conductor obstacles projecting either partway or all the way across the space between the parallel strip conductors. In the other, spaced susceptances are provided by two obstacles or other discontinuity structures in or on one or the other or both of the conductors of the line at spaced points to forma resonant section therebetween.
An object of this invention is to provide still other microwave filter and susceptance arrangements which are small, light in weight, and relatively simple .and inexpensive to make, also utilizing conductor elements or sections of the aforementioned parallel conductor type of line.
, One of the features of this invention is the manner of providing spaced .susceptances of large value by making gaps in certain of the conductors of a parallel strip type of line.

The vfilter comprises a length of base conductor 2,v a layer of dielectric 3, and several resonant sections of line conductor, such as indicated at 4,5 and. 6, quarter .wave
.susceptances is determined largely by thelength of the line conductor therebetween, reference in this regard being made to the equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 3. Resonant sections 4, 5 and 6 each comprises approximately a half wavelength or amultiple thereof, the resonant sections being coupled by other sections of line, such as 4a and 5a, approximately one quarter wavelength or a odd multiple thereof, as may be desired. The magnitude of the susceptance depends on the gap Width and also on the angle of the gap with respect to the longitudinal axis of the line conductor.
It will be clear to those skilled in the art that alternate gaps may be arranged at different angles and/ or dilferent widths and in different directions. The V-shaped gaps 7 provide for larger R.-F. coupling as compared toa truly transverse gap, such as indicated in Figs. 6 and 7. The width of the gaps is important and should be maintained small depending on the configuration of the adjacent .end portions of the conductor sections. The angle on (Fig. 1') has also an important bearing on the value of the susceptance. In Fig. 3 the equivalent circuit elements are given as a function of the angle a with respect to the longitudinal axis of the line conductor, Fig. l. The values illustrated by curve 8 of Fig. 3 were obtained with a gap width of one millimeter, a line conductor 1 of six millimeters width, a conductor 2 of twenty-six millimeter width and a dielectric spacing between conductor. 1 and 2 of '1.5
presentsa relatively large susceptance.
millimeters, wherein the dielectric employed was Fiberglas.
In Figs. 4 and 5, the line conductor 11: is shown to be broken up into sections as indicated at 9 and 10, wherein the ends of successive sections are directly coupled by V-shaped gaps 11a, 11b and 110. The gaps 11a and 110 are small in width and present relatively small values of susceptance while gap 11b is much larger in width and In this embodiment, theconductors 1a and 2a are shown to be of equal width and, as an example, this width may be five millimeters. while the dielectric may be six millimeters in width. Whether or not the conductors are made of the same width, the gaps may be provided in either of the two con- "ductors or alternate therebetween, it being more practical,
however, to make the gaps in the narrower of the two where they are of unequal widths.
Figs. 6 and 7 show two embodiments of the invention, one in which the narrow line conductor is made in sections and in the other, where the wider base conductor is made into sections. In Fig. 6, for example, the line conductor 10 is shown tocomprise resonant sections 12 and 13, quarter wave coupled by a quarter wave section 14. The gap susceptances 15 are disposed transverse to the longitudinal axis of the line conductor.
of the line conductor. A thin layer of dielectric material 30 maintains the conductors in spaced relation.
In Fig. 7 the line conductor 10 is made continuous while the ground conductor 2c is provided with gaps 16 at spaced points thus forming a resonant section 17 therebetween, this resonant section being approximately onehalf wavelength between susceptances although a multiple thereof will suffice where desired, the same as in connection with the other embodiments herein disclosed. It
should also be recognized that the gaps 15 and 16 may be varied in width in accordance with the susceptance values and the type of coupling desired.
' The curve 18 shown in Fig. 8 illustrates the transmission property through a gap 15 of line conductor of the type shown in Fig. 6. The test data for this curve was taken from a susceptance gap of the configuration shown in Fig. 6, wherein the line conductor was six millimeters wide, the base conductor 2c was twenty-six millimeters wide and the spacing therebetween was 1.5 millimeters. The values for the curve were obtained by varying the width of the gap between 1 and millimeters.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 9, resonant sections 19 and 20 are shown of line conductor material approximately one half wavelength electrically between reference planes X and Y of the associated gaps, coupled by approximately quarter wavelength sections, as indicated at 21, the sections being disposed in lapped spaced relationship in a plane parallel to the ground conductor 22. The line sections are supported on the ground conductor by a thin layer of dielectric material 23. The gaps 24 and 25 may be varied both in width and length in accordance with the susceptance value desired. In this connection, it should be recognized that the length of the sections 19,
20 and 21 may be varied considerably depending upon the width and length of the gaps 24 and 25. Sections 19, 21 therefore are not truly half wavelength nor is coupling section 20a quarter wavelength.
The three frequency response curves of Fig. 10 illustrate the pass band characteristics of the filters herein disclosed. Curve 26 corresponds to a filter of the configuration illustrated in Fig. 1, wherein the angle on of the V- shaped gap is 35 degrees, the other dimensions being in accordance with those given for the curve illustrated in Fig. 3, that is, the line conductor was six millimeters wide, the ground conductor twenty-six millimeters wide and the dielectric thickness was 1.5 millimeters. Curve 27 corresponds to a filter configuration in accordance with the form illustrated in Fig. 6 with the exception that the gap at one end of the resonant section was one-tenth mil- The base or ground conductor 2c is shown to be wider than the line conductor 1c and to underlie throughout the resonant sections formed d limeter in width and the gap at the other end of the section was .75 millimeter in width. The dimensions of the conductors and the dielectric layer were otherwise the same as those of the filter from which curve 26 was derived. Curve 28 corresponds to a filter section in accordance with the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 9, the length of the section corresponding to section 19 being fifty-four millimeters long, the width of the gap being 0.2 millimeter and the length of the gap being eighteen millimeters. The line conductor was six millimeters wide and the ground conductor was twenty-six millimeters wide. The dielectric material employed in all three specimens was Fiberglas.
Instead of the lapped spaced relationship, such as indicated for sections 19 and 20 in Fig. 9, being in a plane parallel to the line or ground conductor, the lapped relationship may be in a plane normal to the plane of the conductors. Such a resonant section is shown in Fig. 11. The ends of the line conductors 29 and 30 are spaced apart and a line section 31 is spaced thereabove in overlapping relation as shown. The resonant section between the reference planes X and Y is approximately one half wavelength electrically. The gaps 32 where the section 31 overlies the end portions of the line conductor may be controlled as desired by the thickness of the dielectric layer 33. The dielectric layer 33 may be integral with the dielectric layer 34 between the line conductor and the ground conductor 35 or it may be separate therefrom, whichever is desired. The dielectric layer 33 may also correspond to the layer 34 in thickness, the susceptance value in that case being adjusted by varying the amount of overlap between the end portions of the conductors 29 and 31, for example.
Many variations of the gap configuration between adjacent sections of the line conductor are possible and as further illustrated, Fig. 12 shows alternate sections 36 and 37 of different width whereby the end portions of the wider section is disposed in spaced relation to the end portion of the narrower section. In Fig. 13 a similar arrangement is shown except that the end portion of the larger section 38 is recessed at 39 to receive in spaced relation thereto the end portion 40 of the smaller section 41. This latter form, of course, is similar to the form illustrated in Fig. 1 with respect to the lapped male-female relationship of the adjacent end portions of the line conductors.
The resonant sections of the various embodiments may be tuned by any of the methods disclosed in the aforesaid applications Serial Nos. 286,761, now Patent No. 2,820,- 206, and 286,763, new Patent No. 2,819,452.
