The electromagnetic field components are expanded by the superposition of LSEx modes rather than TE and TM modes in the mode-matching procedure. Meanwhile, the electromagnetic problem is transferred into the network problem through the mode-matching treatment. It is shown that the present method has the advantages of simplicity and less computation without affecting the accuracy of the calculation.展开更多

The quarter-arc bent-waveguide power combiner has a simple geometry which is easy to design and fabricate. By HFSS codes, the physical mechanism and performance of the power combiner are analyzed, and the relationship between the output characteristics and the structure/operating parameters is given. Simulation results show that our power combiner is suitable for the combining of two equalpower and reversed-phase signals, the bandwidth of the combiner is wide and can be adjusted by the radius of the quarter-arc, and the isolation performance of the combiner can be improved by adding thin film resistive septa at the junction of two quarter-arc bent waveguides. Meanwhile, an approximate method based on the analytic geometrical analysis is given to design this power combiner for different frequency bands.展开更多
