In this way, the micromachining fabrication is simplified, making the proposed design a very attractive candidate for high frequency applications and for low-cost batch production. A W-band dual-band design (one different polarization in each frequency band) with more than 10\% fractional bandwidth for each band and 30\% separation between bands is presented. In addition, proper routing and layered bends are designed for an optimum standard interfacing with the same orientation of the input/output ports. Two OMTs in a back-to-back configuration are fabricated using a thick SU-8 photo-resist micromachining process. A total of six stacked SU-8 layers, all of them with the same thickness of 635 micrometers, are used. The experimental results are coherent with the tolerance and misalignment of the process, validating the proposed novel OMT design.},

The design presented here uses a ferrite-free duplexing concept based on transmitting and receiving in orthogonal circular polarizations. The circular polarization is efficiently generated in waveguide using a septum orthomode transducer polarizer, leading to a compact device with a single horn antenna. The complete duplexer is designed using efficient numerical algorithms, resulting in a fabricated device with a measured 10\% fractional bandwidth, a return loss better than 20 dB, isolation of 30 dB, and insertion loss below 1 dB.},

Nowadays, most of this waveguide structures can be analyzed and optimized using rigorous full-wave methods (either numerical or quasi-analytical) with acceptable computation times. Nevertheless, an accurate equivalent circuit provides physical insight of the structure. This additional electromagnetic knowledge might lead to the design of new high-performance waveguide components. Moreover, non-ideal behaviors commonly obtained in experimental measurements, such as narrow band spike resonances, can be explained by means of accurate equivalent circuits. This work is divided in two parts: first an accurate and wide-band equivalent circuit of multi-aperture waveguide irises is determined; then this equivalent circuit is applied in the synthesis of compact waveguide filters, including pseudo-elliptical band-pass, dual band and stop-band filters. The proposed equivalent circuit of multi-aperture irises (with an arbitrary number of apertures) is based on an in deep electromagnetic analysis of the possible resonances of these structures. Two different kind of resonances are possible, either implementing a refection zero (resonances) or a transmission zero (antiresonances). The equivalent circuit is a parallel admittance with a circuit topology given by any of the classical one-port LC realizations, G C Temes and J. W. LaPatra, "Introduction to Circuit Synthesis and Design". The values of the circuit elements are entirely determined by the singular points (resonances and antiresonances) obtained in the full-wave analysis. Modeling of different multi-aperture waveguide irises by means of the proposed equivalent circuit, including experimental results of a five apertures iris, will be addressed in the presentation. Some designs of waveguide filters using the particular case of two-fold symmetric irises with three apertures will be presented. The design discussion will be focused on a systematic synthesis method based on the accurate modeling of the waveguide irises.},

The proposed network is an ortho-mode junction with six physical ports based on an enhanced multiport turnstile junction. This structure is excited at the common port coming from the antenna, by two signals at different frequency bands which are required to be discriminated into dedicated ports. The added functionality of the structure presented in this work is that each frequency band can also allocate two orthogonal polarisations (dual linear or dual circular) with a very large separation between bands (fractional bandwidth larger than 55\%), using two different waveguiding concepts. The first one is based on confining the high frequencies at the centre of the axial path. The second one is just the dual, diverting the high frequencies to the outer boundaries of the axial path. The proposed structures, whose modelling and design will be addressed, are suited for low insertion loss and high-power applications, since they do not use metallic pins, irises or small waveguide sections. Moreover, as consequence of the introduced waveguiding concepts, they are very compact and short in the axial direction, which is crucial for this type of feeders in satellite applications.},

	abstract = {A common part of many microwave systems is the routing of the signal between the circuit devices performing the different functions of the system (frequency discrimination, power combining, frequency conversion, signal amplifying {\^a}{\texteuro}{\textbrokenbar}). The optimum configuration of these individual devices may lead to a system layout where the interfaces of the different blocks are not aligned or even are in different planes. Thus, the routing network must have waveguide transformers, bends, and twists to be able to accommodate the signal between the different blocks. These elements have a simple function, although a careful design may be required for broadband applications. Moreover, in satellite communications, mass and volume must be kept to a minimum and compactness is highly pursued. A possible solution in these cases is to integrate some of these functions in the routing network elements or even in the input/output of the components. In this work, several waveguide devices will be shown with integrated compact elements for waveguide matching and polarization rotation. Since different functions are integrated in the same device, transitions are avoided and the total length is reduced. Very compact structures for waveguide twists have been developed in Asao et al., "A compact 90-degree twist using novel ridged waveguide for integrated waveguide subsystems," Proc. 36th EuMC, 2006 and Kirilienko et al. {\^a}{\texteuro}{\oe}Compact 90{\^A}{\textordmasculine} Twist formed by a Double-Corner-cut Square Waveguide Section{\^a}{\texteuro}, IEEE TMTT, 2008).

The design and evaluation of the different components will be addressed in the presentation, with devices in mixed E/H plane configuration, bends and transformers. When integrating different functions in the same device, some undesired resonances may appear in the structure. Therefore, accurate CAD tools are required for simulating the response and taking into account the mode excitations inside the structure. A precise fabrication is required for having good experimental results, which will be shown in the presentation.},

	abstract = {The design and experimental validation of a pseudo-elliptical response filter at W-Band is presented. A micromachining technique based on the thick SU-8 photo-resist is used to construct the filter. The optimized structure is specially well-suited for the implementation of filters with transmission zeros by means of micromachining techniques, since the extracted poles are implemented by simple stubs without irises. Furthermore, a novel topology based on the use of only three SU-8 layers is presented. This new topology, which includes a novel optimized input/output routing, can be potentially used for the design of high-performance devices with a fast and low-cost production. A fourth-order filter with two transmission zeros has been fabricated (bandwidth 5\%), presenting 1.2 dB of insertion loss. This level of loss is equivalent to the actual state-of-art for micromachined filters at W-band, in spite of the reduced height and the split block in the H-plane used in the presented design.},

The behavior of the electromagnetic field of the fundamental mode is studied in a wide frequency range. At low frequencies (microwave regime) the fundamental mode is the well-known transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode; as frequency increases, the electromagnetic field changes significantly and a surface wave or surface plasmon polariton (SPP) behavior is observed at the highest frequencies of the terahertz band.

	abstract = {In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for satellite communication channels with a complex response, motivated by a most effective use of the radiofrequency spectrum. This means that more channels have to be combined in the output multiplexer (OMUX) after power amplification. In this paper, a synthesis technique based on the Cauer ladder development has been developed to design the singly terminated filters for manifold multiplexers. A procedure for the synthesis and design of contiguous band manifold output multiplexers based on singly terminated filters with elliptic response is considered. The zero shifting technique leads to the synthesis of a driving{\^a}{\texteuro}{\textquotedblleft}point impedance including transmission zeros at finite real frequencies. The synthesized canonical forms have different topologies, number of reactive constant elements and reactive part of the driving impedances with different frequency responses. These characteristics have been intensively analyzed to find the most suitable combination in the multiplexing process to match the channels to the manifold. Using the methodology presented in this work a four-channel multiplexer for Ku-band operation has been designed, manufactured and measured. The input{\^a}{\texteuro}{\textquotedblleft}output ports are standard WR75. The prototype has been manufactured in brass using low-cost milling technique and is formed in one block where all the cavities and irises have the same height. The unloaded Q for the brass cavities is 2500 and therefore the expected insertion losses at central frequency of the higher channel are approximately 2.5 dB. The final paper will show a comparison between the full-wave simulation using the mode-matching method (including losses) and the measurements of the input reflection coefficient and the transmission of the manufactured multiplexer.},

	abstract = {A common part of many microwave systems is the routing of the signal between the circuit devices performing the different functions of the system (frequency discrimination, power combining, frequency conversion, signal amplifying {\^a}{\texteuro}{\textbrokenbar}). The optimum configuration of these individual devices may lead to a system layout where the interfaces of the different blocks are not aligned or even are in different planes. Thus, the routing network must have waveguide transformers, bends, and twists to be able to accommodate the signal between the different blocks. These elements have a simple function, although a careful design may be required for broadband applications. Moreover, in satellite communications, mass and volume must be kept to a minimum and compactness is highly pursued. A possible solution in these cases is to integrate some of these functions in the routing network elements or even in the input/output of the components. In this work, several waveguide devices will be shown with integrated compact elements for waveguide matching and polarization rotation. Since different functions are integrated in the same device, transitions are avoided and the total length is reduced. Very compact structures for waveguide twists have been developed in Asao et al., "A compact 90-degree twist using novel ridged waveguide for integrated waveguide subsystems," Proc. 36th EuMC, 2006 and Kirilienko et al. {\^a}{\texteuro}{\oe}Compact 90{\^A}{\textordmasculine} Twist formed by a Double-Corner-cut Square Waveguide Section{\^a}{\texteuro}, IEEE TMTT, 2008). Other structures used here will be based on Ruiz-Cruz et al., {\^a}{\texteuro}{\oe}Multi-Section Bow-Tie Steps for Full-Band Waveguide Polarization Rotation{\^a}{\texteuro}, IEEE MWCL, July 2010. The design and evaluation of the different components will be addressed in the presentation, with devices in mixed E/H plane configuration, bends and transformers. When integrating different functions in the same device, some undesired resonances may appear in the structure. Therefore, accurate CAD tools are required for simulating the response and taking into account the mode excitations inside the structure. A precise fabrication is required for having good experimental results, which will be shown in the presentation.},
