Simple Expressions for the Design of Linear Tapers in Overmoded Corrugated Waveguides

Simple analytical formulae are presented for the design of linear tapers with very low mode conversion loss in overmoded corrugated waveguides. For tapers from waveguide radius a[subscript 2] to a[subscript 1], with a[subscript 1]<a[subscript 2], the optimal length of the taper is 3.198a[subscrip...
