Compact Rectangular Waveguide H-plane T junction over the WR28 Band
Based on Compensation Technique
Abstract
A compact rectangular waveguide (RWG) H-plane T junction (HT) over the
WR28 is realized in this paper. Capacitive flute and inductive stage are
adopted to settle the discontinuities of the T junction, by which, the
operating bandwidth is expanded to the whole WR-28 band. The capacitive
flute and inductive stage are easy processed with high error tolerance.
For demonstration, the RWG H-plane T junction operating at Ka band is
designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured return loss is greater
than 20 dB from 24 GHz to 40 GHz. The measured insertion loss is less
than 3.22 dB, which corresponds to a power-combining efficiency of
95.0%. The measured results are in good agreement with the simulated
ones.
