Study of a W-band TE62 mode generator by the waveguide mode transformation

In this paper, based on the theory of mode-matching and the coupled wave theory, A W-band TE₆₂ mode generator by using waveguide mode transformation is presented. Because of the eigen-mode selection of coaxial waveguide, a TE₁ mode in standard rectangular waveguide is coupled into a coaxial waveguide to excite a TE₆₁ mode by an aperture. A transition follows on it to change the coaxial waveguide into a circular one. Finally, TE₆₁–TE₆₂ mode converter is achieved by using a periodic radius perturbation in circular waveguide. Calculation and analysis of the relationship between the mode conversion efficiency and structure parameters of waveguide also are finished. The validity of this study is confirmed by using electromagnetic simulation software. The conversion efficiency of TE₆₂ mode reaches 94.5% at the center frequency 95 GHz, and the mode purity reaches 98.16% The bandwidth of the efficiency above 85% reaches 1 GHz, which can meet the demand of the high–frequency cold test of gyrotrons.
