  • Patent number: 8041528
    Abstract: An arrangement for calibrating a vector network analyzer (VNA) is substantially secure against operating errors and offers cost-effective calibration by connecting calibration components. Each calibration component includes a transponder and a non-volatile memory which contains, as non-changeable data, at least the type of the component and an individual identification number and, as changeable data, at least the number of calibration processes performed with this calibration component. The VNA includes a wireless interface for reading at least the non-changeable data of a respective calibration component and for incrementing the stored number of the calibration processes performed with this calibration component.

  • Patent number: 6242699
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing the ends of a coaxial high frequency cable, which has a tubular inner conductor, a dielectric enclosing the same, a tubular outer conductor arranged over the same concentrically to the inner conductor, and a sheath of insulation material enclosing the outer conductor. The apparatus includes a pot-like device (1) with a cylindrical hollow space (2) the diameter (D1) of which at the input area corresponds to the diameter of the high-frequency cable including the sheath. Within the device (1), at the end of the input area, at least one sheath knife (5) for cutting the sheath is arranged, the blade of which projects into the hollow space (2). The diameter (D2) of the hollow space (2) behind the input area corresponds to the outside diameter of the outer conductor of the high frequency cable.

  • Patent number: 6181222
    Abstract: A polarizer for two different frequency bands is described for exciting an antenna with a parabolic reflector. The polarizer has a waveguide section capable of carrying in each frequency band two mutually perpendicularly linearly polarized waves. For each frequency band, two waveguides having a rectangular cross-section are connected to the waveguide section separate from each other and mutually offset in the axial direction of the waveguide section. A respective waveguide is connected directly to the waveguide section for each polarization direction of the lower frequency band, whereas for the upper frequency band—from a connecting point (11, 12) on—each of the two waveguides is subdivided into two branches (18, 19, 20, 21) with each having identical rectangular cross-section. The respective branches terminate on the waveguide section at mutually opposing locations which are circumferentially offset relative to each other by 90° for the two polarization directions.

For each frequency band, there are connected to the waveguide section, separate from each other and mutually offset in the axial direction of the waveguide section, two waveguides having a rectangular cross-section. For the lower frequency band, for each polarization direction, a respective waveguide is connected directly to the waveguide section. For the higher frequency band, starting at a connecting point, each of the two waveguides is subdivided into two waveguide branches with identical rectangular cross-sections, with the branches terminating at two opposing locations of the waveguide section. The locations, where the branches for the two different polarization directions terminate on the waveguide section, are circumferentially offset relative to each other by 90.degree..

  • Patent number: 4758806
    Abstract: An antenna exciter for two different frequency bands which consists of two polarization switches (3, 4) arranged axially one behind the other and of a feed horn (5). The polarization switches (3, 4) are circular tubes of different inside diameters, the diameters being the same over the entire length. To each polarization switch (3, 4) there can be connected, spaced axially from each other, two wave guides (6, 7, 8, 9) 90.degree. apart from each other. Opposite the wave guide (9) adjacent the feed horn (5) a stop closed by a short-circuit plate (12) is arranged in the corresponding polarization switch (4). Between the feed horn (5) and the adjacent wave guide (9) and between the points of connection of the two wave guides (8, 9) of the larger polarization switch (4), two axially extending webs lying diametrically opposite each other and of a predetermined dimension are arranged therein.

  • Patent number: 4566254
    Abstract: The bit for horses comprises a bit bar formed from a moulded article with an oval or circular cross-section and made from a resilient-elastic material having a high abrasive resistance, which conically widens from the center of the two moulded article ends provided with the through-bores for rings for fixing the reins, accompanied by the formation of a central, narrow, resilient-elastic web extending over a short section and has frontally flattened horse tongue contact surfaces, which leads to a bit bar with high abrasive resistance, adequate central mobility and which is advantageous for the horse's tongue.
