Klystron Based Advanced Microstrip Antenna Trainer TCM 022

The Microwave is a term used to identify electromagnetic waves in frequency spectrum ranging from 1Ghz to infrared region. The word microwave defines itself very short waves. The shortest wave length or the highest frequencies of radio spectrum are microwave. But these boundaries are not well defined.

Sci-tech Klystron based Advanced Micro-strip Antenna Trainer Model TCM 022, with Microwave Integrated Circuits (MIC) includes instruments and accessories for studying the characteristics of any MIC component over the frequency range 4 to 6 GHz.

Item Description

TEST SET UP

Universal Test Jig

This jig has a spring mechanism, which is used to hold the microstrip components to be tested. It contains 6 SMA connectors to connect the various ports of DUT according to the components.

Microstrip Components:

Low Pass Filter: It passes all the signals between zero freq. to some limit called the cut off frequency and attenuates other higher frequencies.

Specifications

The cut off freq. : 5±0.2 GHz

Insertion Loss : 3±0.2 dB

Return Loss : 15±0.5 dB

Band Pass Filter : It passes all the frequencies in the frequency band between the lower cut off frequency to the upper cut off frequency and rejects the signals of other frequencies outside this band.

Specifications

The center freq. : 50-1.2 GHz

Insertion Loss : 1+0.2 dB

Return Loss : 20±1.0 dB

Bandwidth : 0.5 GHz

Band Stop Filter: It passes all the frequencies outside the frequency band between the lower cut off frequency to the upper cut off frequency and rejects the signals of other frequencies inside this band.

Specifications

The center freq. : 5±0.2 GHz

Insertion Loss : 45±2 dB

Return Loss : 0.5+0.2 dB

Bandwidth : 1.0+10.2 GHz

Ring Resonator: It transmits the signal at the resonance (design) frequency only and stops the signals of other frequencies.

Specifications

The resonance freq. : 5+0.2 GHz

Insertion Loss : 4+0.5 dB

Return Loss : 15±0.2 Db

Branch Line Coupler: It is a four-port and 3-dB directional coupler with a 90 phase difference in the through and coupled outputs whereas the fourth port remains isolated.

Specification

Operating frequency : 5+0.2 GHz

Insertion Loss (At Through port) : 3+0.5 dB

Coupling : 3±0.5 dB

Isolation : 20Db(min)

Directivity : 18±2dB

Return Loss (Through) : 25±2dB

Hybrid Ring (Rat Race) Coupler: It is a four-port coupler with a 180 phase shift and equal power division in the through and coupled outputs whereas the fourth port remains isolated.

Specifications:

Operating frequency : 5±0.2 GHz

Insertion Loss (At Through port) : 3±0.5 dB

Coupling : 3±0.5 dB

Isolation : 30dB(min.)(at design frequency)

Directivity : 25±2dB

Return Loss (Through) : 25±2dB

Parallel Coupled Line Coupler: It consists of two close and parallel transmission lines and the coupled power depends on the separation between two lines.

Specifications

Operating frequency : 5±0.2 GHz

Insertion Loss (At Through port) : 1±0.5 dB

Coupling : 15±1.0 dB

Isolation : 23+2 dB

Directivity : 12+2dB

Return Loss (Through) : 20±2dB

Power Divider (2): It is a three-port network, which divides the input signal into two equal output signals. Here two types of power divider are available: one is with chip resistor and another without it. The isolation between output ports increases due to chip resistor.

Specifications without resistor with resistor

Operating frequency 5+0.2 GHz 5+0.2 GHz

At O/P 1 I.L. 3±0.5 dB 3+0.5 dB

At O/P 2 I.L. 3±0.5 dB 3+0.5 dB

Isolation 8+2 dB 30±2 dB

Return Loss 25±2dB 35±2dB

Patch Antenna (2): It radiates the microwave signal in the space or receives the microwave signal from the space. Two types of patch antennas are available: one is quarter wave transformer fed and another one is the inset fed.
