Abstract :
Waveguide bends must be designed such that they have only a little mode conversion. A small spurious mode content inside the bend can be tolerated if the modes are converted back to the main mode at the end of the curved section. A program was developed to optimize bends and bent mode converters for oversized waveguides using a genetic algorithm.
