Mode matching technique for step transition in Rectangular to Circular Waveguide?
Any links or references or mathematical explanation would be greatly appreciated. :)
back to basic always.
You know how to do a single step (lamda/4) transition, since you know the lamda/4 impedance matching formula, Zt^2=Zo*ZL
So same thing for multi-step transition, we can still choose lamda/4 for each step, and make the matching from load to the source. If you are lazy to calculate it, build a model in ADS etc, and optimize to find right impedance for each step.
The impedance for each step is determined by your waveguide width and height.
Thanks for your reply zhul3. I was thinking for that same formula as my reference as well, but not really sure for the exact mathematical expression for two-steps and above. So I'm asking for some references, coz I can't find any equation relating Zt and the height and width, aside from here (which is 1-step only): Circular to Rectangular conversion de K6BLG
