Abstract
This article describes theoretical and experimental results for a prototype TE, TE ,, circular waveguide mode converter. The system which requires such a device, the high power Ka-Band transmitter is described briefly. A short review of coupled mode theory is given, and the theoretical performance of the final converter design is given. Experimental results for the fabricated converter are presented and compared with theory. A method of identifying the various circular waveguide modes in a multimode device is described. Given the close agreement between the theoretical predictions and experimental results, the computer code may be used with confidence in the design of future multimode tapers and mode converters.
