Abstract
A coaxial waveguide corner structure, having a pair of incoming inner conductors, each inner conductor having an axis and an end, the pair of inner conductors having non-coincident axes, and a conductive bridging element having two ends within an enclosure. Each end of the conductive bridging element is adapted to provide a continuous conductive surface between the outer edge of the pair of inner conductors, adapted to provide a low loss and low reflection radio frequency electromagnetic wave path between said pair of inner conductors. The conductive bridging element thus has a section profile matching a section profile of the adjoining inner conductor, at the respective bevel angles. The conductive bridging element preferably has a cross section shape different than a cross section shape of the conductors, preferably elliptical.
