Abstract
The paper describes a TM01-mode tracking coupler using a travelling wave mechanism for satellite antennas which require autotrack capability. The coupler can also be used as a pure TM01 -mode generator. The paper covers theoretical coupler design as well as measured results from Ka-band hardware
