Abstract
In this paper, a dielectric-filled circular waveguide TM01-TE11 mode converter is proposed, which has high conversion efficiency and a wide operating bandwidth. Filling the circular waveguide with dielectric material changes the local propagation characteristics, thus achieving a phase difference between the TE11 modes in the two halves of the circular waveguide during propagation. This, in turn, facilitates the completion of mode conversion with high efficiency. Compared with the conventional radial dielectric plate, this paper improves the method of filling the dielectric inside the circular waveguide by transforming it into a coaxial structure. This is followed by the incorporation of a radial dielectric plate, a modification that has been proven to enhance the conversion efficiency and extend the operational bandwidth. The mode converter operates at 9.7 GHz, and when the dielectric…
