Patent attributes
An apparatus including an inner conductor and an outer conductor. The inner conductor may comprise a cylindrical portion, a tapered end and a plurality of blades. The blades may be arranged around the cylindrical portion and extend along a length of the cylindrical portion with a predetermined shape. The shape may have a probe at a first end and a second end of the shape may meet the cylindrical portion. The tapered end may have an input/output (I/O) transition. The outer conductor may comprise a cavity, a first connector and a plurality of second connectors. The inner conductor may be within the cavity. The first connector may be connected to the I/O transition. Each of the second connectors may be connected to the probe of one of the blades. The shape of each of the blades may be configured to provide a low-loss transition for a microwave signal.
