Four-wave, eight-wave, and sixteen-wave rectangular waveguide power dividers/combiners are developed to excite the desired coaxial TE01 mode but to suppress the potential parasitic TE21, TE41, and TE81 oscillations at radius ratios 4.05, 1.64, and 1.36, respectively. Accordingly, the simulated results reveal the broad −1dB back-to-back transmission bandwidth of 13.5 GHz (14.3%), 12.7GHz (13.5%), and 18.7 GHz (19.9%) at W-band. Notably, these three converters with different cross-sections are designed to be capable of concentric integration, which yields a three-channel (3C) high power rotary joint for long-range and high-resolution radar applications.","PeriodicalId":6353,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74604434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
