WAVEGUIDE POLARIZER Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H01P1/16 H01P5/08 

FIELD: microwave engineering including satellite television engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed waveguide polarizer has waveguide section in the form of truncated pyramid and two wedges used to organize square-section-to-T adapter. Wedge base equals 0.2λ x 0.7 λ and its height equals that of waveguide section, where λ is wavelength in free space. Newly introduced are two groups of adjusting members, each group incorporates three members and is disposed along axial lines of waveguide wide walls forming T-section. First member is spaced through distance of λ_av/4 from T-section and next ones, λ_mean/8 from each other, where λ_mean is mean wavelength in waveguide. Waveguide ellipticity = 0.98, standing-wave ratio = 0.95, bandpass = 18%.

EFFECT: improved characteristics, simplified design.
