Abstract

Abstract

This paper presents a compact, high-power mode converter using, which consists of two orthogonal circular waveguides. The mode conversion is based on the coupling relationship of TE₁₁ mode and the TM₀₁ mode transmitting at E-plane branch of the circular waveguide. In addition, wider bandwidth is achieved by placing a tuning screw at the short end. The results show that the conversion efficiency at 12.7 GHz is 99.6% and the bandwidth greater than 90% is ranging from 11 GHz to 14 GHz.
