  • Abstract
    A new THz radial polarizer suitable to convert the usual linearly polarized signal from a millimeter or sub-millimeter source is described. It is based on mode-filtering within a cylindrical waveguide combined with two tapers and a discontinuous phase element. An experimental demonstration is given at ap 100 GHz and transposition to higher THz frequencies by scaling is straightforward.
