Abstract

Based on the mode coupling theory, a TE01—TM11 mode converter was designed and optimal results were obtained. In this paper, bandwidth of mode converter with axis exponential structure is the largest, and mode converter with axis sinusoidal structure is the most compact in the case of the center frequency is 28GHz and the waveguide radius is 16mm. If the bending angle between input port and output port of mode converter was demanded for 90°, mode converter with axis parabola structure had the characteristics of compact structure, higher mode purity and larger relative bandwidth. Meanwhile, we found that the converter could be also used as TE11 mode transition with transmission efficiency above 99%. But due to bending angle of this structure was restricted, its center frequency and waveguide radius had the obvious corresponding relation.
