Familiarization with the Microwave

Laboratory Apparatus
[Link]. Name of Image Symbol Function
the
Equipment
It transports radio frequency or
microwave signals from one port to
1 Circulator another.

It transmits microwave or radio


frequency power in one direction only. It
2 Isolator is used to shield equipment on its input
side, from the effects of conditions on its
output side.

It decreases the strength of the input


signal either continuously or step by step
3 Attenuator without appreciable signal distortion
while substantially maintaining constant
impedance match

The magic-tee can be used as a power


combiner or divider, depending on the
4 Magic Tee needs of the application.

The basic function of a directional


coupler is to operate on an input so that
5 Directional two output signals are available.
Coupler

A horn antenna is used to transmit radio


waves from a waveguide (a metal pipe
6 Horn used to carry radio waves) out into
Antenna space, or collect radio waves into a
waveguide for reception.
It is used to either divide or combine
power in a waveguide system. It is a two
way in-phase power divider/combiner i.e
it is additive in nature. When two input
7 H-Plane Tee signals are fed to port 1 & 2, the output
at port 3 is in phase and additive and
when the input signal is fed to port 3, the
signal is split in to two equal parts that
are in-phase at port 1 & 2.

It is similar to a power divider.


The outputs we get in this type of tee are
8 E-Plane Tee 180° out of phase with each other,
irrespective of from which port the input
is fed.

A frequency meter is an instrument that


displays the frequency of a periodic
9 Frequency electrical signal.
Meter

It accepts a low frequency (base band)


signal that modulates the output of e.g. a
10 Pin generator, typically in amplitude,
Modulator frequency or phase. Its use is that this is
the signal you are actually interested in.
The high frequency signal is just a carrier:
without modulation it is useless.
It is a low-cost, stable source of
continuous-wave microwave signals
11 Gunn essential for telecommunications, radar
Oscillator systems, and scientific applications.

It is an instrument which measures


the electrical
12 Power power at microwave frequencies typically
Meter in the range 100 MHz to 40 GHz.

It is used to determine the amount of


radio frequency that is being reflected
13 VSWR back to the transmitter compared to the
Meter amount that is being sent out during
transmission.
