2 Agenda Introduction: OMT overview Trapped modes in QRWG OMT s Offset ridges to increase modal separation Design method Simulated results Construction Measured results Conclusions 2
3 3 Introduction: OMT overview
4 Introduction: OMT overview An ortho-mode transducer (OMT) is a polarisation filter which separates orthogonal polarisations within the same frequency band Typically a three port device as shown: 2 1 OMT 3 4
5 Introduction: OMT overview Classic Bøifot junction type 1990 Bøifot, Lier and Schaug-Pettersen 1.5:1 Bandwidth Well suited to X-band and higher due to bulky size Wollack 1996: K-band design 5
6 Introduction: OMT overview Balanced probe fed types Often more compact than waveguide types Bandwidth 1.5:1 Must be very carefully constructed to ensure a balanced feed Engargiola and Navarrini 2005: K-band design with scaling gpossible to high mm-wave band Grimes et al. 2007: Planar C-band design 6
7 Introduction: OMT overview Turnstile junction waveguide type Popular at higher frequencies at or above the K-band Commercially available up to 94 GHz Again, about 1.5:1 bandwidth due to the singe mode waveguide limitation Navarrini and Plambeck 2006: K-band design with scaling possible to high mm-wave band 7
8 Introduction: OMT overview Finlines and ridged waveguides have wider single mode operation Several finline OMT s have been reported showing bandwidths of up to 2.4:1 Cross coupling levels are high due to the asymmetry y in the structure Skinner and James 1991: L-band design 8
9 Introduction: OMT overview Quad Ridged Waveguide (QRWG) types are the most popular for lower frequency (L-band to C-band) applications 2.4:1 bandwidth possible Good isolation between ports They have a problem with trapped modes though Skinner and James 1991: L-band design 9
10 Trapped modes in QRWG OMT s f c = GHz f c = GHz f c = GHz f c = GHz c f c = GHz c f c = GHz c 10
11 Offset ridges to increase modal separation This problem does not occur in DRWG due to loss of the axial symmetry Use rectangular waveguide (Similar properties p to circular but easier to construct) f c = GHz f c = GHz f c = GHz f c = GHz f c = GHz f c = GHz 11
12 Offset ridges to increase modal separation Still need both polarisations Don t use QRWG with close modal separation in the feed area asymmetry in feed excites the higher order mode Move one of the ridges in the axial direction to achieve an approximate DRWG structure in the feed area 12
13 Offset ridges to increase modal separation Still need both polarisations Don t use QRWG with close modal separation in the feed area asymmetry in feed excites the higher order mode Move one of the ridges in the axial direction to achieve an approximate DRWG structure in the feed area 13

15 Offset ridges to increase modal separation Still need both polarisations Don t use QRWG with close modal separation in the feed area asymmetry in feed excites the higher order mode Move one of the ridges in the axial direction to achieve an approximate DRWG structure in the feed area 15
16 Offset ridges to increase modal separation Check effect of the orthogonal ridges on the DRWG modal cutoffs How far down the taper can the ridge be moved to still ensure single mode operation? First higher order mode g a 16
17 Design method Use offset ridges so that the structure can be approximated as a DRWG structure Approximate formulas are available for the characteristic impedance of DRWG Hoefer and Burton 1982 using a VI relationship This greatly simplifies the design of the feed and the impedance taper Design can be split into three parts: 1. Feed 2. Impedance tapers 3. Full structure integration 17
18 Design method: Feed Operating band: GHz (1.66:1 Bandwidth) Design ridges to give 50 Ω impedance to be matched to the coax feed Place feed as close as possible to the open circuit at the back for maximum bandwidth Not very sensitive to shape and size of cavity play around a bit to find a suitable form CST simulation model and results are shown below 18
19 Design method: Tapers Use a Klopfenstein taper Length of taper most important factor in obtainable bandwidth Results shown for a 400 mm taper in a 150 mm DRWG 19
20 Design method: Full structure integration Simulate the full structure with orthogonal ridge inserted Some higher order resonances are excited within the operating band These can be suppressed by 1. reducing the waveguide width in the unsymmetrical part of the structure (modes with E-field zeros at the waveguide walls) a. When waveguide width is reduced the fundamental cutoff must be kept the same as that of the full size waveguide use ridged waveguide b. Tapered QRWG is needed to keep the fundamental cutoff constant as the width is increased 2. inserting a mode suppression plate behind the second ridge (modes with E-field maxima at the waveguide walls) a. Shorten the cavity to increase resonant frequency to outside the band of interest b. Thin plate in the centre of the guide does not interfere with the orthogonal mode 20
21 Design method: Full structure integration Width = 140 mm Space = 106 mm f c = GHz Width = 150 mm f c = GHz 21
22 Design method: Full structure integration Simulate the full structure with orthogonal ridge inserted Some higher order resonances are excited within the operating band These can be suppressed by 1. reducing the waveguide width in the unsymmetrical part of the structure (modes with E-field zeros at the waveguide walls) a.

Shorten the cavity to increase resonant frequency to outside the band of interest b. Thin plate in the centre of the guide does not interfere with the orthogonal mode 22
23 23 Design method: Full structure integration
24 Simulated results To keep the prototype costs down a S-band scale model was designed to operate from 2.4 to 4 GHz Reflection is below -20 db across the entire operating band for both ports 24
25 Construction The structure was constructed with aluminium Outer waveguide was CNC milled out of 20 mm slabs 6 mm plate was used for the ridges Construct the ridges as single pieces LASER and waterjet cutting was tried both were somewhat inaccurate Rather mill ridges as separate pieces in the future Press fit centre conductor of feedline into ridges worked well 25

30 Conclusions A QRWG OMT with offset orthogonal ridge was designed, manufactured and measured Performance is similar to traditional QRWG OMT s No trapped modes No need for optimisation in the design Construction and assembly is straight forward Only problem with construction o is the LASER/waterjet cutting of the ridges machine them in future Article accepted in the Electronics Letters: Broadband offset quad-ridged waveguide orthomode transducer 30
