This bench consists of the following
components :
1.Isolator
: ferrite based.Made out of circulator by terminating one of
its three ports into matched loads.
Frequency
: 1MHz wide within X-Band
Isolation
: 20dB Typical
2. Variable
Attenuator :
It consists of a lossy vane
moving inside a waveguide by means of a micrometer.It is useful for adjusting
power levels.
Frequency Range
: 8.2 to 12.4 GHz
VSWR
: 1.10 Typical
Average Power
: 2 Watts
3.Slotted line with Probe Carriage
:
It is the basic microwave equipment for
study of VSWR Attenuation,Phase,Impedance,etc.It consists of a waveguide
section in which a small longitudinal cut has been made
and a carriage is affixed, which can be moved along the cut by a vernier
arrangement. When a tunable detector probe is affixed on the carriage ,its
tip projects into the waveguide and picks up energy from the guide.
Frequency Range
: 8.2 to12.4 GHz
Residual VSWR
: 1.01
Total Vernier Travel
: 15 Cms typical
4. Tunable Probe :
Tunable probe is designed to be
used with slotted line section.These are meant for exploring the
energyof Electric Field in a suitably fabricated section of waveguide.The
depth of penetration into a waveguide section is adjustable by the knob
of the probe.The tip picks up the RF power from the line,this power
is rectified
by crystal detctor which is fed to the
VSWR meter or indicating instruments.
Frequency Range
: 8.2 to 12.4 GHz
Output Connector
: BNC(F)
5. Micrometer Type Frequency
Meter :
It uses a TE11 mode High Q cavity
tuned by a precision piston with the drive mechanism coupled to a micrometer.
The meter is of absorption type and designed to give wideband working without
ambiguity.
FrequencyRange : 8.2
to 12.4 GHz,X Band
VSWR
: Better than 1.02
Accuracy
: + 2MHz
Calibration chart :
Provided
6. Moveable short :
It consists of a waveguide section, flanged
at one end and terminated with a moveable shorting plunger on the
other end, driven by a precision micrometer with L.C.of 0.01mm.
Frequency Range : 8.2
to 12.4GHz
Micrometer
: 15 mm
Micrometer LC
: 0.01 mm.
7. Matched Terminations :
It is a nonreflective termination based
on tapered flap. These are useful for VSWR measurements of
various waveguide components.These are also employed as aprecise
reference loads with Tee junctions,directional couplers etc.
Frequency Range : 8.2
to 12.4 GHz
VSWR
: Better than 1.02
Average Power
: 2 watts
Besides these components,waveguide stands,assorted
cables and manual etc. is provided.
