Abstract
The computer-optimised design of a compact exponentially profiled E-plane depth corrugated square waveguide polariser is described which achieves 90°±2° differential phase shift between the TE10- and TE01-wave for 11.8¿12.5 GHz and 17.1¿18.1 GHz. The input VSWR is better than 1.02 and 1.016 for the TE10- and TE01-wave incidences, respectively, between 10.3 and 18.8 GHz. The method of field expansion into suitable eigenmodes used considers the effect of higher-order mode interaction at all step discontinuities.
