Polarization conversion device based on a waveguide with pins

Abstract

Today, one of the key elements of antenna systems engaged in polarization signal processing are polarization devices. These devices are used to convert the types of polarization. The following designs of polarizers in the form of waveguide structures with posts [1], irises [2, 3], ridged structures [4], polarizers with thin metal septum [5] are known. The designs of polarizing devices in the form of slots [6] are complex in design. Phase shifters [7] and filters [8] also had such constructions. In addition, polarizers are built directly into antennas [9].
