Practical design of a high-power tuning-less W-band triplexer for ground radar surveillance systems

The design of a rectangular waveguide 95 GHz (W-band) triplexer for ground radar systems is presented. The triplexer comprises three in-line filters with inductive irises as coupling elements and a manifold formed by three T-junctions. In particular, the scheme proposed is aimed at handling large powers and reducing losses. The triplexer was assembled and measured, showing very good agreement with the simulated results.
