Circular Waveguide Polarizer for Weather Radars and Satellite Information Systems

Abstract

This research presents the design and main electromagnetic characteristics of the novel compact microwave waveguide polarizer. The developed device's structure is based on a circular waveguide and anti-phase conducting posts located in it. The application of a circular waveguide instead of a square one allowed simple integration of a polarizer with corrugated horn antennas. The obtaining of required phase difference using a postsbased design provides the possibility of fine tuning of the developed circular wav…
