ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a system for integrating a quasi-optical reflection-mode array into a wave-guiding enclosure. The system includes a quasi-optical reflection mode array and a waveguide assembly that encloses and mounts therein the array. In one preferred embodiment, the waveguide assembly includes an array mounting section into which the array is mounted, a first energy coupling section, a second energy coupling section and a three-port waveguide section. The wave-guiding section has a first port connected to the first energy coupling section, a second port connected to the second energy coupling section, and a third port connected to the array mounting section.
