  • Ridged waveguide window assembly
    Patent number: 4352077
    Abstract: A window assembly for ridged waveguide has a slab of dielectric extending clear across the waveguide cross-section. The slab may be perpendicular to the waveguide or cross it at an angle. The waveguide ridge or ridges are notched so that the dielectric slab passes through the notch. Inductive tuning posts may be added to make a broadband match. The window assembly has an excellent match over more than an octave frequency range.
