Such a configuration eliminates the slots between the T-junctions and the filters allowing high power handling as well as reducing dramatically the risk of multipactor. In addition, the device has been manufactured using a three layer sandwich configuration. In this way, the classical milling machine has been replaced by a wire-electric-milling one. The rounded corners are removed and consequently the tuning process is practically eliminated. In order to validate the above performance, a Ku-band triplexer has been designed, manufactured and measured.}, keywords = {contiguous band manifold triplexer, microwave devices, multiplexing equipment, rectangular waveguides, slot lines Ku-band triplexer, three layer rectangular H-plane waveguide, three layer sandwich configuration, wire-electric-milling machine}, issn = {2-9600551-2-8}, doi = {10.1109/EUMC.2005.1608801}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/10686/33788/01608801.pdf?tp=\&isnumber=\&arnumber=1608801}, author = {Montejo-Garai, J R and J A Ruiz-Cruz and Rebollar, J M} }
