  • Abstract
    The new geometry of right angle bends is developed. The concept can be applied to any type of a transmission line. Examples of bends in rectangular waveguides, strip lines and microstrip lines are presented. Waveguide bends have return loss better than 35 dB in full TE10 mode operation range. Strip line bends have return loss better than 40 dB up to 25 GHz and microstrip line bends have return loss better than 25 dB up to 20 GHz. The optimization of bends has been performed in FDTD electromagnetic simulator.
