High-power Mode Converter of Overmoded Bent Circular Waveguide

Based on the mode coupling theory, a TE₀₁—TM₁₁ mode converter was designed and optimal results were obtained. In this paper, bandwidth of mode converter with axis exponential structure is the largest, and mode converter with axis sinusoidal structure is the most compact in the case of the center frequency is 28GHz and the waveguide radius is 16mm. If the bending angle between input port and output port of mode converter was demanded for 90°, mode converter with axis parabola structure had the characteristics of compact structure, higher mode purity and larger relative bandwidth. Meanwhile, we found that the converter could be also used as TE₁₁ mode transition with transmission efficiency above 99%. But due to bending angle of this structure was restricted, its center frequency and waveguide radius had the obvious corresponding relation.     

A waveguide polarization controller

In this paper a novel waveguide polarizer is introduced that does not require rotary joints and the frequency of operation can easily be adjusted by a few set screws. In this method the degenerate eigenvalues of a circular waveguide are separated by deforming the waveguide cross section slightly. In order to generate a desired polarization, the orientation angle of the deformation point with respect to the polarization of the incident wave can be adjusted using a rotary roller mechanism concentric with the circular waveguide. Analysis of the problem based on the finite element method and an approximate analytical method is given. A prototype model at 34.5 GHz is built and tested. Experimental results shows excellent agreement with the theoretical prediction

A new type of mode-evolution polarization-splitter based on InGaAsP/lnP has been designed and realized. The component uses the large waveguide birefringence of the first-order TE and TM modes in a ridge waveguide made in a heterostructure, In the input section an asymmetric Y-junction acts as a mode converter in order to inject first-order TE- and TM-modes in a polarization-splitting section, which consists of a Y-junction formed by a bimodal and a monomodal waveguide. In the output section a third Y-junction is connected to the bimodal waveguide to couple the first-order mode to a monomodal output waveguide. Components that are 6-mm long and show polarization splitting at a wavelength of 1.55 μm have been realized. The best splitting ratios are close to -20 dB, which is in agreement with BPM simulations.

This study presents the design and cold testing of a Ka-band TE/sub 01/-mode converter. A wave is efficiently converted from the TE/sub 10/ rectangular waveguide mode into the TE/sub 01/ circular waveguide mode. This converter comprises a power-dividing section and a mode-converting section. The field pattern and the working principle of each section are analyzed and discussed. A prototype was built and tested. Back-to-back transmission measurements exhibit excellent agreement to the results of computer simulations. The measured optimum transmissions are 97% with a 1-dB bandwidth of 5.8 GHz centered at 34.0 GHz. The angle-independent transmissions manifest high mode purity and the field pattern is directly demonstrated on a temperature-sensitive liquid-crystal sheet. In addition to exhibiting a high conversion efficiency, high mode purity, and broad bandwidth, this converter is also easy to construct and is structurally simple.
