Abstract
A three-port transducer has as a first port a waveguide capable of supporting transverse electric waves of any polarization. The waveguide is divided into three sections by means of a pair of tapered septums which taper in opposing directions. The width of the inner section of the three is made equal to the combined widths of the other two and is coupled to a rectangular waveguide which comprises a second transducer port. The two outer sections are coupled together to a second rectangular waveguide which comprises a third transducer port. The polarization of a signal applied to the first port will determine the amplitude and phase of the signals at the second and third ports.
