ABSTRACT:
A mode transducer for converting an electromagnetic wave between TE1,0and TM0,1modes. A rectangular waveguide guides the wave while in TE1,0mode and a circular waveguide guides the wave while in TM0,1mode. The rectangular waveguide and the circular waveguide are joined by a chamber to form a right angle structure. The chamber particularly includes offset walls distended away from proximal portions of the rectangular waveguide to convert the electromagnetic wave between modes. Two of the mode transducers rotatably coupled with a suitable rotation mechanism may be used as a rotary waveguide joint.
