Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce an influence of a center conductor of a coaxial line which has been inserted directly into a circular waveguide, by connecting a rectangular waveguide whose size of a diagonal line is less than a diameter of said waveguide, to the circular waveguide. CONSTITUTION:The titled mode converter is constituted of a circular waveguide 1 which has contained a polarized wave converter 2, a rectangular waveguide 6 which is connected to said waveguide and has a diagonal line of a size being less than a diameter of the waveguide 1, a coaxial line 3 whose center conductor is inserted into a wide face center pipe of the waveguide 6 and which has been connected to the outer conductor and the waveguide wall, and a short-circuit plate 5 which has been installed to a position of about 1/4 of a guide wavelength from an inserted point of the center conductor. In this way, a TE11 mode wave which has been propagated through the waveguide 1 is converted to a TE10 mode of the rectangular waveguide at a contact of the waveguides 1 and 6. As for the waveguide 6, vertical and horizontal sizes are different from each other, therefore, a rotary mode and an unnecessary mode are scarcely generated, and a convention loss becomes small in a wide band.
