  • Patent number: 11101530
    Abstract: A square waveguide (1) has four ridges (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b). The cross section of the square waveguide (1) perpendicular to a waveguide axial direction is square. Inside the square waveguide (1), two rectangular waveguide terminals (4, 5) are formed by partitioning the inside along the waveguide axial direction. A septum phase plate (2) formed to get narrower stepwisely as its gets closer to a square waveguide terminal (3) opposite to the rectangular waveguide terminals (4, 5) is provided. A projecting portion (8) is provided on a part of a ridge (7b) formed on a ridge-side wall surface opposite to a wall surface, the septum phase plate (2) being joined to the wall surface in a part where the septum phase plate has largest width, the projecting portion (8) being larger than other parts of the ridge (7b) in a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the waveguide axial direction.
