- the configuration is such that rectangular waveguides 2, 4, 12, and 14 having a rectangular cross section are used as the waveguides.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- the first tube walls 41A and 41B and the second tube walls 41C and 41D are combined with each other, and the C plane is formed at the corner,
- a configuration in which a waveguide 41 having a substantially rectangular cross section formed with a chamfered portion 41E such as an R surface may be used.
- Substantially arc-shaped second tube walls 42C and 42D are provided on both sides of 42B to form a waveguide having a substantially elliptical cross section.
- a configuration using 42 may be used.
- the first tube walls 43A and 43B extending on the long axis side and the second tube walls 43C and 43D extending on the short axis side have a substantially elliptical cross section.
- the configuration using the waveguide 43 may be used.
- the rectangular waveguides 2, 4, 12, and 14 are formed to be hollow.
- a waveguide in which a dielectric is loaded (inserted) is used. It may be used
- the second rectangular waveguides 4 and 14 are configured to extend in the direction perpendicular to the H-plane tube walls 2A and 12A of the first rectangular waveguides 2 and 12.
- the force may be extended not only in the vertical direction but also in the direction inclined obliquely from the vertical direction!
