Abstract
Abstract A load for a stripline integrated into a three-plate structure is formed by a resonant cavity filled with absorbent material. The resonant cavity is defined by metallized holes extending through the three plates. The holes are spaced no more than 1/4 wavelength apart and can extend along the length of the stripline to form an opening of the resonant cavity. The structure of the load allows its size to have the same height and width of the stripline.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A load for high frequency three-plate stripline, comprising: a three-plate stripline having outer plates and a conductor disposed therebetween; metallized holes spaced a maximum of 1/4 wavelength apart extending through the outer of the stripline and defining a resonant cavity therein; an end of the conductor between the outer plates of the stripline extending into and terminating in the resonant cavity; an electrically absorbent material inside of the resonant cavity between the outer plates of the stripline and connected to the end of the conductor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
A load for high frequency three-plate stripline, comprising: a three-plate stripline having outer plates and a conductor disposed therebetween; metallized holes spaced a maximum of 1/4 wavelength apart extending through the outer of the stripline and defining a resonant cavity therein; an end of the conductor between the outer plates of the stripline extending into and terminating in the resonant cavity; an electrically absorbent material inside of the resonant cavity between the outer plates of the stripline and connected to the end of the conductor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A load for a high frequency three-plate stripline according to claim 1, wherein: the end of the conductor is connected by a metallized hole to one of the outer plates of the stripline.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A load for a high frequency three-plate stripline according to claim 1 wherein: the electrically absorbent material comprises a mixture of dielectric material and metal particles.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A load for a high frequency three-plate stripline according to claim 1, wherein the electrically absorbent material has a thickness which is the same as a distance between one of the plates and the conductor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
116 words
A load for a high frequency three-plate stripline, comprising a three-plate stripline having outer plates and a conductor disposed therebetween: metallized holes extending through the outer plates of the stripline and forming a circular resonant cavity around an end of the conductor in the stripline, the resonant cavity having an opening where the conductor enters into the resonant cavity and further having metallized holes extending through the outer plates along a length of the conductor thereby defining the opening to the resonant cavity which extends away from the circular resonant cavity; and an electrically absorbent material inside of the resonant cavity between the outer plates of the stripline and connected to the end of the conductor.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
116 words
A load for a high frequency three-plate stripline, comprising a three-plate stripline having outer plates and a conductor disposed therebetween: metallized holes extending through the outer plates of the stripline and forming a circular resonant cavity around an end of the conductor in the stripline, the resonant cavity having an opening where the conductor enters into the resonant cavity and further having metallized holes extending through the outer plates along a length of the conductor thereby defining the opening to the resonant cavity which extends away from the circular resonant cavity; and an electrically absorbent material inside of the resonant cavity between the outer plates of the stripline and connected to the end of the conductor.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A load for a high frequency three-plate stripline according to claim 5, wherein: the end of the conductor is connected by a metallized hole to one of the outer plates of the stripline.
