Optimized models for 90°polarization shift step twists for Ku, K and Ka bands are presented. The cross-section of the waveguide employed is similar to that of a rectangular one, with the difference that the walls of the shorter side are part of a circular one with the proper diameter. The optimized models have been found using the CST Microwave Studio simulation tool and in all cases the return loss is kept below -20 dB for a wide range of frequency spectrum. Two examples are given, one for Ku band and the other for K and Ka ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
