ABSTRACT:
A multi-port, multi-frequency combiner comprising a main waveguide having a cross-section in the shape of a right-angle parallelogram and dimensioned to simultaneously propagate co-polarized signals in different frequency bands and at least one signal that is orthogonally polarized with respect to the co-polarized signals, at least a portion of the waveguide being overmoded; a plurality of junctions spaced along the length of the main waveguide for coupling selected signals in the different frequency bands in and out of the waveguide, at least one of the junctions being located in an overmoded portion of the waveguide, each of the junctions having an unbalanced or pseudo-balanced feed with only a single side-arm waveguide for transmitting and receiving the signals; and filtering means disposed within the main waveguide and operatively associated with each junction therein for signals in the highest frequency band, the filtering means having (1) a stopband characteristic for coupling signals in the highest frequency band between the main waveguide and the junction and the side-arm waveguide connected thereto, and (2) a passband characteristic for passing signals in lower frequency bands past the junction. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the waveguide has an overmoded section with a square cross-section and a single-moded section with a rectangular cross-section, with the overmoded and singlemoded sections being joined by a transition section having at least one side wall which is tapered to effect the transition from the square cross-section to the rectangular cross-section.
