Abstract
A new quasi-optical TE01-TEM00 mode converter is presented. It consists of four mirrors sequentially correcting diffraction divergence of TE01 mode, its polarization, then amplitude and phase patterns. Results of the measurement performed at millimeter waves agree well with the design parameters: total conversion efficiency exceeds 90% in the frequency band of 20%.
