@article{10902/14793, year = {2018}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/14793}, abstract = {A quasi-octave bandwidth arbitrary-angle compact waveguide twist using a single matching step is presented. The proposed twist, based on a single intermediate ridge waveguide section that broadens its mono-mode operation, exhibits a similar wave impedance to the rectangular waveguide connected to its ports thus facilitating the reflections minimization in an extended frequency range. An exemplary 45° twist has been manufactured in the 10 GHz to 19.3 GHz frequency range (~64%) for demonstration purposes. The measured data are in concordance with those predicted by the simulation. This result represents, to the authors' knowledge, today's state-of-the-art in terms of compactness and bandwidth performance.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (reference ESP2015-70646-C2-2-R) and FEDER funding from the EU.}, publisher = {ENW Publishing}, publisher = {Progress in Electromagnetics Research (PIER), 2018, 162, 73-79}, title = {Arbitrary-angle single-step waveguide twist for quasi-octave bandwidth performance}, author = {Cano de Diego, Juan Luis and Mediavilla Sánchez, Ángel}, }
