Abstract

In this paper, the simplified design methodology for rotation of polarization plane using a square waveguide is proposed. In order to optimize the characteristics of $180^{\circ}$ polarizer operating from 14.3GHz to 14.8GHz in Ku-band, the modified mode matching method and piecewise power tower interpolation are applied to the polarizer design. The optimized results show that the frequency bandwidth in VSWR<2 has covered 500MHz in the Ku-band and phase difference between two orthogonal modes $TE_{10}$and $TE_{01}$ is $180^{\circ}{\pm}1^{\circ}$ in the range of 14.3GHz~14.8GHz. The cross polarization loss has obtained below 40dB and the insertion loss has 0.1dB in the passband. Therefore, the proposed polarizer is suitable for practical Ku-band system requiring the low VSWR and compact size.

본 논문은 정방형 도파관을 이용하여 편파면을 회전시키는 편파기의 단순화된 설계법을 제안하였다. Ku 밴드 주파수인 14.3GHz~14.8GHz에서 동작하는 $180^{\circ}$ 편파기의 특성을 최적화하기 위하여, 개선된 모드정합법과 구분적 멱보간법을 편파기 설계에 적용하였다. 최적화 결과는 VSWR<2 인 범위의 Ku 밴드 주파수 대역에서 500MHz의 대역폭을 나타내었고, 직교모드 $TE_{10}$와 $TE_{01}$ 간에 위상차는 14.2GHz~14.8GHz 주파수 대역에서 $180^{\circ}{\pm}1^{\circ}$ 를 갖는다. 그리고 교차편파 손실은 40dB 이하이고, 통과대역의 삽입손실은 0.1dB 이다. 따라서 제안한 편파기는 낮은 VSWR과 소형의 크기가 요구되는 실질적인 Ku 밴드 시스템에 적용이 가능하다.
