ABSTRACT:
A differential phase shifting structure is disclosed, employing corrugated ridges in square or round waveguides or in coaxial lines operating in the TE.sub.11 mode. The structure provides a substantially constant differential phase shift between two waves polarized orthoganally to each other. The corrugations in the ridge provide a series inductance which can be optimized with the shunt capacitance of the ridge to provide a characteristic impedance matching that of the unloaded structure. The corrugated ridges provide increased differential phase shift per unit length. The differential phase shifting structure is particularly well suited to such applications as circular polarizers, quarter wave plates or polarization rotating half-wave plates.
