Coaxial stub tuner

Abstract

A coaxial stub tuner assembly is comprised of a short circuit branch diametrically opposite an open circuit branch. The stub of the short circuit branch is tubular, and the stub of the open circuit branch is a rod which extends through the tubular stub into the open circuit branch. The rod is threaded at least at its outer end, and the tubular stub is internally threaded to receive the threads of the rod. The open circuit branch can be easily tuned by turning the threaded rod in the tubular stub to adjust the length of the rod extending into the open circuit branch.
