초록

본 논문에서는 다중대역 피드를 위한 직교모느 변환기를 설계하였다. 직교모드 변환기의 전체적인 모양은 사각 테이퍼진 형태이고, 18~20 GHz에서 우원편파와 좌원편파를 발생시키기 위해 테이퍼 부분에 2개의 측면 포트를 두고, 직선포트는 30~45 GHz의 광대역에서 -20 dB 이하의 반사계수와 15 dB 이하의 분리도를 가지도록 설계하였다. 직선포트에서의 반사계수 특성을 향상시키기 위해서 측면포트에 얇은 격막을 삽입하였다. 전체적인 설계에 상용소프트웨어인 HFSS$^{R}$를 사용하였다.

In this paper, we present design results for an orthomode transducer(OMT) to be used in multi-band antenna feeds. The OMT is realized in the form of a tapered square waveguide, where 18-20 GHz ports are placed in the taper region normal to the waveguide axis, while 30-45 GHz ports are placed in line with the waveguide axis. The reflection coefficient of each port is designed to be less than 20 dB, while the isolation between ports are greater than 15 dB. Thin septa are placed in side ports to reduce the effect of side ports on the return loss of the in-line port. The commercial software HFSS? is used to design the whole structure.
