Design of circular ARC finline tapers
Abstract
The aim of this paper is the development of a technological simple procedure for the fabrication of tapers in finline technique with a high transmission and low reflection characteristics. This method employs tapers between rectangular waveguides and finline sections or between two electrically different waveguides in form of circular arcs which are matched to the required lapse of the slot width as a function of the characteristic impedance. The appicability of this method assumes that the transmission properties of the considered finline are known. Several examples show the feasibility of the method.
