  • Dusting Off the Lecher Lines
    Dusting off the Lecher Lines Frank Thompson University of Manchester, Chemistry Department, (EPR Centre), Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL Introduction It is quite some time since the article by Howes [1], concerning Lecher Lines, graced the pages of “Physics Education”. Historically, however, this apparatus invented in 1890 [2] was a pivotal point in the study of Radio Frequency (r.f.) waves as it allowed the wavelength/ frequency of such waves to be measured and, perhaps on this account, the topic should be given a more prominent place in the curriculum. In the 1960’s and 1970’s experiments with Lecher Lines were popular since they provided a means of unifying the physics of waves; standing waves detected on Lecher Lines had much in common with standing waves on vibrating strings or vibrating columns of air in an organ pipe. The cherished experiments: Kundt’s tube or “Measurement of the frequency of “Mains” electricity with a sonometer” were commonly used at A-level and beyond. The Lecher Line experiment also provided a good introduction to the subject of transmission lines. But the advent of Network Analysers in the 1980’s removed the need to employ standing wave techniques to study the propagation of r.f. and microwave radiation and, indeed, the slogan with practitioners of the time was S.O.S, Stamp Out Standing-waves. Inevitably the Lecher Lines apparatus was placed on the top of cupboards – out of sight and out of mind. In an attempt to redress the balance the following experiment on Lecher Lines will be presented. The apparatus can be constructed for a modest cost and the constructional details should not be beyond the capabilities of a Physics Laboratory workshop.

  • SWR Meters Make You Stupid Or Ladder Line To
    SWR Meters Make You Stupid Or Ladder Line to Eternity It may have already occurred to you that it might be desirable to locate your amateur radio antenna at some distance from your transmitter and/or receiver. In fact, unless you intend to operate your station from the top of a tree or a tower, it is very likely that you will be employing some form of transmission line. The purpose of a transmission line is to convey radio frequency energy from a radio set to an antenna, or vice versa, in as painless a fashion as possible. You can think of a transmission line as an extension cord for R.F. In fact, for the lower regions of the radio frequency spectrum, actual extension cord can serve reasonably well, for reasonable distances. Like so many other facets of Amateur Radio, the transmission line seems to have taken on a life of its own, accumulating a vast, sticky, woolly hairball of misinformation along the way. This is all so unnecessary. A transmission line is a means to an end, never an end in itself. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise. A Bit of History In the early years of radio, there wasn't much of a line of demarcation between a transmission line and an antenna. In fact, let's look at a very typical amateur radio antenna of days past. It consisted of an array of parallel wires, or “flat-top” arranged much like a clothes line, and a SINGLE WIRE leading from the flat top to the transmitter.

  • Lecher Line with a Loop Dipole
    LD Electricity Physics Electromagnetic oscillations and waves Leaflets P3.7.3.2 Propagation of decimeter waves on lines Investigating the current and voltage on a Lecher line with a loop dipole Objects of the experiments Detecting the reflection-free propagation of a current and voltage wave on the Lecher line terminated with the loop dipole. Determining the current and the voltage maxima at the loop dipole. Principles When a high-frequency electromagnetic field is transmitted onto a Lecher line, a voltage wave U = U0 ⋅ sin(vt − kx), p v = pn = 2 2 , k l propagates in the direction x of the wires. The frequency n and the wavelength l of this wave agree with those of the trans- mitted field. The voltage between the wires is associated with a charge distribution along the wires. The displacement of these charges leads to a current in the wires which propagates as a wave. At the end of the Lecher line, the waves are reflected if the two ends of the wires are open or short-circuited. The incoming and the reflected wave then interfere to form a standing wave. If, however, the ends of the wires are connected by an ohmic resistor which is equal to the characteristic wave impedance of the Lecher line, then no reflection occurs and no standing waves arise. The same is true when the loop dipole terminates the Lecher line. The current and voltage maxima can then be found at the loop dipole The reflection-free propagation along the Lecher line is proven in the experiment by successively sliding a probe with lamp and an induction loop with lamp along the Lecher line at a fixed distance.

  • Early German and American Radar Transmitter Technology 1
    Copyright 2002 by Hans H. Jucker. Published in the Tube Collector Association Bulletin, Medford OR 97501, U.S.A. October 2002 Early German and American Radar Transmitter Technology Initially radar engineers worked with commercially available transmitter tubes. The very high voltage operation in radar transmitters caused serious positive ion bom­ bardments of the cathode. Therefore only tungsten cathodes or thoriated tungsten cathodes with their rather limited electron emission were sufficiently robust for this service. In 1937 Dr. Felix Herringer of the Lorenz electron tube laboratory mastered the development of an oxide cathode tube, suitable for pulse modulated UHF radar transmitters. The C. Lorenz company filed 1938 for the new type of tube, the patent Nr. 862782 “Anodenimpulsmodelung bei Röhren mit Oxydkathode” The photo shows the first laboratory sample of the Lorenz DS 323 pulse type UHF triode developed 1937. The DS 323 was the first pulse type transmitter tube with oxide cathode, suitable for radar transmitters. The oxide cathode with the higher electron emission (>5 amps. plate saturation current) made it possible to generate much higher RF output powers. The power dissipation of the heavy plate construction, containing several heat sinks, was 75 watts. The tube didn’t need a getter because of the tantalized plate surface. In 1938 Dr. Gotthard Mueller of the C. Lorenz labora­ tory at Berlin, developed with two DS 323 tubes a pulse modulated push pull transmitter for the 500 MHz band. The C. Lorenz company filed for this new kind of transmitter on 10th April 1938 the patent Nr. 767453 “Anordnung zur Erzeugung bzw.

The conductors being massive or hollow does not af- fect the characteristic impedance. Figure 1: Parallel circular conductor transmission line; dimensions. Construction Here is an excellent construction suggestion by Leon Salden, VK3VGA. He de- vised a ladder line spreader built from durable and readily available materi- als; a black cable tie and black polyethylene (PE) irrigation extension tube. For smaller separation distances, black LED spacers can also be used. 1 Figure 2: Ladder line spreader built from black irrigation extension tube and a cable tie.

  • Basic Rf Theory, Waveguides and Cavities
    BASIC RF THEORY, WAVEGUIDES AND CAVITIES G. Déme CERN, Geneva, Switzerland ABSTRACT After a brief mathematical introduction, Maxwell's equations are discussed in their most general form as known today. Plane waves are considered in unbounded media, with the laws of reflection and refraction at a planar interface. A general theory of waveguides and cavities is then developed in detail. Periodically loaded waveguides are given as an example of accelerating structure. The parameters which characterize the interaction of resonant cavities with a particle beam are introduced, for both longitudinal and transverse motions. 1 . MATHEMATIC AL REPRESENTATION OF PHYSICAL VARIABLES AS A FUNCTION OF TIME 1 . 1 Sinusoidal variables (time-harmonic electromagnetic fields) Phasors Real sinusoidal variables a(t) = am cos (cot + tp) are represented as Rea¤’(°"*°)=l,,,] ReA[u] cf (1.1) where A el"' (with to 2 0) is called a phasor and A = dm ef'? is its complex amplitude. When the differential equations determining the physical variable a(t) are linear with real coefficients, any complex solution of the type A elm yields two real solutions which represent physical quantities: Re(A ew)l = |A| cos (mz + q>) Irn(A e)lw = |A| sin (mz + rp) Since these solutions merely differ by the time origin, it is sufficient to keep only the first one. A (capital letter) is the complex amplitude of the real sinusoidal variable a(z) written as a lower case letter. IAI is the amplitude am; arg (A) = o is the phase of a(t). In Eq. (1.1), the phasor A el"' may be replaced by its complex conjugate; in fact both conventions are used in the literature.
