A Study on the Contiguous-Band Waveguide Manifold Diplexer

contiguous 대역을 갖는 도파관 Manifold 다이플랙서에 관한 연구

In this paper, a simple design method is represented for a contiguous-band waveguide manifold diplexer which employs a half-wavelength line at the input port of the singly terminated bandpass filterand has resonant-slot coupled E-plane T-junctions. This design method is based on the fact that the input impedance characteristics of the singly terminated bandpass filter are approximately unchanged when a resonant slot and a half-wavelength line at the input port of the filter are employed. This design method is also applicable to the design of the multiplexer. A contiguous-band waveguide manifold diplexer using the post coupled cavity filters is designed, constructed, and tested. The computed and experimental results show the validity of the theory.
