TLDR
In this paper, a coupler for extracting energy in the TE 21 mode from a circular waveguide propagating energy in both the TE 11 and TE 21 modes is proposed, characterized by an annular iris on the inner circumference of the waveguide and a longitudinally stepped transition portion of a waveguide.
Abstract
A coupler for extracting energy in the TE 21 mode from a circular waveguide propagating energy in both the TE 11 and TE 21 modes, characterized in that an annular iris on the inner circumference of the waveguide and a longitudinally stepped transition portion of the waveguide define therebetween a TE 21 mode resonant cavity which is coupled via a narrow axially extending rectangular slot contained in the wall portion of the waveguide which defines the cavity. At least one external resonant chamber may be provided on the waveguide through which the TE 21 mode energy is extracted and transmitted to a detector thereof via the slot, which chamber cooperates with the resonant cavity to define a multiple resonant filter for improving the matching to the TE 21 mode while reducing the perturbation to the TE 11 mode.
