  • Suspended transmission line with embedded signal channeling device
    Patent number: 6608535
    Abstract: A suspended transmission line with an embedded signal channeling device includes a support layer and a conductor supported by the support layer between first and second plates each having a ground plane. The conductor includes a combined signal line and a plurality of discrete signal lines extending from the combined signal line. The discrete signal lines each transmit a portion of a signal transmitted on the combined signal line. A propagation structure is disposed between the first and second plates to substantially contain an electromagnetic field generated by the propagating signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2002
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2003
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
    Inventors: James R. Sherman, Elvin C. Chou
