Abstract:
1. A junction for connecting two waveguides having a first angular offset (α) between longitudinal symmetry axes of their respective cross-sections, said junction comprising: a first interface and a second interface configured to connect said two waveguides; at least a first transformer section and a second transformer section, both having cross-sections of substantially rectangular shape, and both having said first angular offset (α) between longitudinal symmetry axes of their respective cross-sections, each said first and second transformer section having a pair of ridges formed on opposite walls; and third and fourth transformer sections, each having a plurality of ridges formed on opposite walls, and being disposed about the junction such that there are two transformer sections disposed on each side of the junction; wherein the third transformer section is connected to the first transformer section with no angular offset, and the fourth transformer section is connected to the second transformer section with no angular offset, and wherein a second clearance h
