Abstract:
A dielectrically loaded rectangular waveguide to air-filled rectangular waveguide adapter and right-angle waveguide probe antenna with a bandwidth greater than 15% of the center frequency of the operating band, as defined by a return loss over the frequency range better than or equal to −20 dBV. This invention is most relevant to a right-angle coaxial to a dielectrically loaded rectangular waveguide, followed by an air-filled rectangular waveguide transition. The dielectrically loaded rectangular waveguide to air-filled rectangular waveguide adapter is comprised of a relatively narrow dielectrically loaded rectangular waveguide section, a relatively wide air-filled rectangular waveguide section following the dielectrically loaded rectangular waveguide section of equal height, and a right-angle waveguide probe antenna. The probe antenna is comprised of a tapered cylinder that results in an inverted conical shape resembling a V-frame. The resultant “V-frame probe” is connected to a coaxial feed cable and extends into the dielectrically loaded waveguide section through an aperture. The dielectrically loaded waveguide transitions into an air-filled rectangular waveguide and is sized such that it the impedance of the dominant TE mode of frequencies supported by the waveguide is preserved without causing unintended mode conversion. The V-frame probe operates as a TE10 mode waveguide radiator, and is sized and positioned such that the impedance of the probe antenna is closely matched to the impedance of the waveguide across a wider frequency band.

Claim (Index 2):
A dielectrically loaded rectangular waveguide to air-filled rectangular waveguide adapter as recited in  claim 1 , characterized by a bandwidth greater than 15% of the center frequency of the operating band as defined by a return loss over the frequency range better than or equal to \u221220dBV.
