In this paper two different dual-band polarizers are designed and compared. The structure of both polarizers is based on the classical corrugated rectangular waveguide. This structure can be analyzed very efficiently like an H-plane and an E-plane problem. The Mode-Matching technique, in combination with global search algorithms, is used for the full-wave analysis and optimization of the polarizers. In the first polarizer, the height of the corrugations is designed according to a taper-type shape. For the second polarizer, no restrictions in the height of the corrugations are imposed and all the dimensions are optimized. The performance of both polarizers is compared, showing certain improvement in terms of polarization purity for the second one.}, keywords = {corrugated waveguide, dual-band, mode-matching, optimization, Waveguide polarizers}, issn = {978-1-61284-235-6}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=224789}, author = {C A Leal-Sevillano and J A Ruiz-Cruz and Montejo-Garai, J R and Rebollar, J M} } @book {10_INTECHBook_Ruiz-CruzMontejo-GaraiRebollar_CADWgDevicesbyMM, title = {Computer Aided Design of Waveguide Devices by Mode-Matching Methods (in Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technologies (ISBN: 978-953-307-083-4))}, year = {2010}, month = {Oct 2009}, author = {J A Ruiz-Cruz and Montejo-Garai, J R and Rebollar, J M}, editor = {Zhurbenko, V} } @article {09_ELET_Ruiz-CruzMontejo-GaraiRebollarEtAl_C-BandOMT, title = {C-Band Orthomode Transducer for Compact and Broadband Antenna Feeders}, journal = {Electronics Letters}, volume = {45}, number = {16}, year = {2009}, month = {July}, pages = {813-814}, abstract = {The design and evaluation of a compact C-band orthomode transducer for dual polarisation satellite communications is presented, covering the bands 3.7-4.2 GHz and 5.925-6.425 GHz (54\% of fractional bandwidth separation).

In the theoretical characterization of waveguides at terahertz frequencies, the microwave engineering community must address two main challenges: a) the behaviour of metal conductors at this broad bandwidth requires a more evolved model than the constant conductivity model used at microwaves frequencies, and b) the Leontovich{\^A}{\textasciiacute}s conditions (surface impedance conductor model), widely used at lower frequencies to predict the conductor losses and the attenuation constant of the different waveguide modes, may not be accurate enough at frequencies in the terahertz range. In order to quantify the accuracy of the Leontovich{\^a}{\texteuro}{\texttrademark}s model, in this communication an analytic analysis for the parallel plate waveguide is proposed. It is based on a rigorous matching of the different field expressions at the interface between regions of the waveguide. For the conductor, it uses the model proposed in L Solymar classic book (Lectures on electrical properties of material, 1990, Oxford Science Pub). This model has shown its validity, for the authors, as far as a thousand of terahertzs, predicting very accurately the Surface Plasmon Polaritons on metallic surfaces (a dual structure of the parallel plate waveguide considered in this work, M Mansuripur et al., OPN April 2007, pp. 44-49). The propagation constant for fundamental (TM00 or quasi-TEM) and higher order modes (TM01 and TE01) are calculated by solving the corresponding characteristic equations (R E Collin, {\^a}{\texteuro}{\oe}Field theory of guided waves{\^a}{\texteuro} , 1991, IEEE Press), which provide the dispersion diagrams of the modes. The field pattern of the modes could be also obtained. A comparison between the dispersion diagrams obtained with the classical approach (Leontovich{\^a}{\texteuro}{\texttrademark}s approximation) and with the fullwave solution for different parallel plate dimensions will be presented. The errors for both phase and attenuation constants are quantified giving a precise idea on the validity of the different models from an engineering point of view. The results will be given for the fundamental and higher order modes.}, author = {J A Ruiz-Cruz and Montejo-Garai, J R and Rebollar, J M} } @conference {07_URSIESP_Ruiz-CruzMontejo-GaraiRebollarEtAl_CADdeOMTs, title = {CAD de OMTs (Ortho-Mode Transducers) de Banda Ancha Basados en la Uni{\'o}n B{\o}ifot}, booktitle = {Proc. 2007 Simposium Nacional URSI (in Spanish)}, year = {2007}, month = {Sept.}, pages = {1-4}, abstract = {This paper proposes a CAD tool for wideband OMTs based on the B{\o}ifot junction which has two interesting features.
