Abstract
In this paper, a simple design method of stepped septum polarizer suitable for X-band satellite communication is proposed. This method is compared to two other conventional design methods in terms of time consumption and complexity of design procedure. In addition, an equivalent circuit modeling is used to analyze and design for the polarizer based on waveguide. For the validity of satisfying the satellite communication, electrical performances have been verified through the simulation and measurement results.
