Full wave analysis and optimization of microwave power dividers based on the angled bend HqO - mode exciters

The algorithms and numerical optimization results are presented for three original constructions of compact microwave power dividers that are carried out on the base of H-plane angular HqO,-mode exciters in a rectangular waveguide. Analysis and optimization of the dividers are made by the generalized scattering matrix technique using unsymmetrical angled bends, bifurcations, and one-side linear tapers as key-building blocks. The high efficiency of algorithm is provided due to applying rigorous numerical-analytical techniques for calculation of the full wave scattering matrices of used key-building blocks.
