Abstract
The mode convertor employs two intermediate modes, a coaxial TEM and a rectangular waveguide TE 10 mode, in the transition between the TM 01 and TE 11 circular waveguide modes. The coaxial line provides isolation while acting as a mode filter between the device input and output ports. The rectangular waveguide provides a wide mode separation ratio between the TE 10 and TM 11 modes. The TE 10 mode then transitions into the TE 11 in the circular output waveguide. The coaxial section keeps the output TE 11 mode from scattering back to the input, and the rectangular section keeps the TM 01 from being excited in the output.
