CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGH FREQUENCY WAVEGUIDE COMPONENTS USING CST

Abstract

This report discusses different waveguide components using a simulation software CST. It includes the characterization of rectangular probes which are used for near-field measurements, and a coupling hole which is equivalent to a circular waveguide in order to measure the amount of power circulating in a travelling wave resonator. It also analyzes radiation from a circular waveguide with a baffle which is excited in the TE02 mode which is used in high-power, high frequency applications.
