Abstract:
A waveguide device includes: a first conductive member having an electrically conductive surface; a second conductive member having a plurality of electrically conductive rods arrayed thereon, each conductive rod having a leading end opposing the conductive surface; and a waveguide member having an electrically conductive waveguide face opposing the conductive surface, the waveguide member being disposed among the conductive rods and extending along the conductive surface. The waveguide member includes at least one of a bend and a branching portion. A measure of an outer shape of a cross section of at least one of the plurality of conductive rods that is adjacent to the bend or the branching portion, taken perpendicular to an axial direction of the at least one conductive rod, monotonically decreases from a root that is in contact with the second conductive member toward a leading end.

Claim (Index 1):
A waveguide device comprising:\n a first electrical conductor including an electrically conductive surface including a planar surface or a curved surface; a second electrical conductor including a plurality of electrically conductive rods arrayed thereon, each of the plurality of electrically conductive rods including a leading end opposing the electrically conductive surface of the first electrical conductor; and a waveguide including an electrically conductive waveguide surface opposing the electrically conductive surface of the first electrical conductor, the waveguide being disposed among the plurality of electrically conductive rods and extending along the electrically conductive surface; wherein the electrically conductive surface of the first electrical conductor includes a portion which protrudes toward the waveguide.
