First Claim
1. A microwave transmitting and receiving device, comprising(a) an elongated hollow waveguide shell member open at one end and containing a chamber, said shell member having in vertical transverse cross section a rectangular configuration including opposed pairs of major and minor walls, respectively;
- (b) planar plate means arranged within said chamber between, parallel with, and spaced from said major walls, said plate means bisecting said chamber to define a pair of waveguides having the same dimensions, respectively;
(c) microwave oscillator diode means arranged within one of said waveguides for transmitting radiation to said open end;
(d) microwave detector diode means arranged within the other of said waveguides for receiving radiation from said open end; and
(e) means for mounting said diode means within said pair of waveguides, respectively, said mounting means being connected with said plate means and said opposed major wall of said shell member, respectively, whereby radiation from said oscillator diode means is transmitted from said transmitting waveguide to said open end, and radiation is received by said detector diode means via said receiving waveguide.

Abstract
A microwave transmitter/receiver unit consisting of a hollow waveguide member closed at one end and open at the other is divided longitudinally by an internal dividing plate into two waveguides, one for transmitting microwave radiation to the open end and the other for receiving such radiation from the open end. A Gunn diode is mounted in a cavity in the transmitting waveguide and at least one detector diode is mounted in the receiving waveguide. The unit is of an inherently compact nature and has particular application to doppler radars, two way communication links and distance measuring radars.
