Design and construction of a mode converter from rectangular TE 10 to circular TE 11
Abstract
The design and manufacturing of a waveguide mode converter from the TE10 mode in oversized rectangular to the TE11 mode in oversized circular waveguide is described. A differential equation for the cross sectional shape of the converter was solved numerically. A stainless steel mandrel was produced on a numerically controlled milling machine. Sixteen converters were produced by electroforming on one mandrel.
