Special passive components in circular waveguides
Abstract
Several solutions to circular waveguide coupling and installation problems are surveyed. Mode transformers for conversion of the TE10 rectangular guide mode to circular guide modes are discussed, together with directional couplers between the guide types and tapers for diameter adaption. Sudden deviation of the guide axis is dealt with, and the reduced diameter curved guide, and elbows with electromagnetic mirrors, are suggested. Mode filters and thermal dilatation joints are also discussed.
