Abstract:
An assembly for the pressure-tight separation of a first waveguide (12) from a second waveguide (16), the assembly comprising a pressure-resistant conductor body (22), a first adaptor (26), which is arranged between the first waveguide (12) and the end of the conductor body (22) facing the latter, a second adaptor (30), which is arranged between the second waveguide (16) and the end of the conductor body (22) facing the latter, the dielectric constants of the first and second adaptors (26, 30) lying between those of the conductor body (22) and the waveguides (12, 16), and a metal sheath (20) having an inside diameter that is greater than an outside diameter of the conductor body (22) when the metal sheath (20) is heated, the conductor body (22) being surrounded by the metal sheath (20), and the metal sheath (20) exerting a compressive stress on the conductor body (22) when the metal sheath (20) is cooled.
