ABSTRACT
A mode converter using circular waveguide has been investigated. The conversion is based on the structure of two orthogonal circular waveguide and there is a tuning screw placed at the short-end used to increase conversion efficiency and bandwidth. The results show that the converter is not only compact but also wide-band, which realize a bandwidth of 11∼14 GHz for conversion efficiency over 90%. The simulated power capacity is 798 MW at 12.7 GHz under vacuum condition.
