What will happen when E-plane tee and H-plane tee are combined?

Microwave engineering continually pushes the boundaries of innovation, and one fascinating outcome of this exploration is the creation of a magic tee by combining E-plane tee and H-plane tee. At the forefront of this transformative synergy is Dolph Microwave, seamlessly integrating these tees to unveil the magical properties of the hybrid component. Let's delve into the realm of microwave wizardry and explore the intriguing effects produced when E-plane tee and H-plane tee join forces within the realm of Dolph Microwave's engineering excellence.


Formation of the Magic Tee: A Harmonious Blend

When E-plane tee and H-plane tee come together, they give rise to a component known as the magic tee. In this ingenious amalgamation, Arm 3 forms the H-plane tee with Arm 1 and 2, while Arm 4 shapes the E-plane tee with Arm 1 and 2. The collaborative interplay of these components opens the door to a myriad of effects that revolutionize microwave engineering.


Coherent Phase and Addition Output

In the H-plane tee segment of the magic tee, feeding two inputs to ports 1 and 2 (collinear arms) leads to a remarkable output at port 3. The output exhibits coherent phase characteristics and addition effects. This means that the signals harmoniously combine, producing an output that not only maintains the phase relationship but also undergoes constructive interference, enhancing the overall signal strength and coherence.


Signal Splitting and Phase Reversal

On the E-plane tee side of the magic tee, feeding a wave into the side arm initiates a fascinating phenomenon. The wave traveling along the collinear arm undergoes a phase reversal, resulting in opposite phase characteristics while maintaining equal magnitude. This unique property of signal splitting and phase reversal is a hallmark of the E-plane tee and contributes to the versatility of the magic tee.


Crucial Understanding for Microwave Hybrid Circuit Design

The combination of E-plane tee and H-plane tee in the magic tee is not just a theoretical concept; it has practical implications in the design of microwave hybrid circuits. Engineers at Dolph Microwave harness the magic tee's effects for applications where precise control over phase relationships, addition characteristics, and signal splitting is paramount.
