Abstract: A window assembly for a hollow waveguide of circular cross-section, with improved bandwidth and cooling capability for handling high microwave power transmissions over wide frequency ranges, is disclosed. A plate or disc of dielectric of refractive index n.sub.1 extends sealingly across the waveguide and has two parallel faces which exhibit a pattern of corrugations. One of these faces is in contact with a dielectric fluid of refractive index n.sub.2, and means are provided for cooling and circulating the fluid over said one face. Each of the corrugations extends into the fluid a distance proportional to the inverse of the geometric mean of the product of the refractive indices n.sub.1, n.sub.2. In a preferred embodiment, a second plate is included, separated from the first by a region in which said dielectric fluid is circulated, and in which at least both the faces in contact with the fluid are corrugated.

Abstract: A corrugated horn antenna adapted to be coupled to a waveguide at the apex thereof for X-band excitation is further adapted to be connected to waveguides through a circumferential slot for S-band excitation at four distinct phases S.sub.1 through S.sub.4 selected for the desired S-band polarization. The circumferential slot is positioned along the axial length of the horn for good impedance matching and is provided with an X-band choke in the form of two concentric choke slots. For further improvement in impedance matching, the second (outer) choke slot is divided by plugs into four segments that coincide with waveguide ports for the four distinct phases of the S-band.
