Abstract

Background. One of the main problems in modern satellite telecommunication systems is to increase the volume of information transmission with simultaneous preservation of its quality. Key element of such systems is antenna systems with polarization processing, which is carried out using polarizers. Therefore, development of new polarizers and simple techniques for their analysis and optimization are important problems. The most simple, effective, technological and actual for analysis are polarizers based on waveguides with irises.

Objective. The purpose of the paper is to create a mathematical model of the polarizer based on a square waveguide with irises, which allows analyzing the influence of polarizer’s design parameters on its electromagnetic characteristics.

Methods. A mathematical model of the waveguide polarizer with irises is created by decomposition technique using transfer and scattering wave matrices. To take into account the irises’ thickness their equivalent T- and Π-shaped circuits were used.

Results. We have developed mathematical model of the waveguide polarizer with irises, which takes into account their thickness and is based on the complete scattering wave matrix of the waveguide polarizer. The matrix has been obtained using the microwave circuit theory. The main characteristics of the waveguide polarizer were defined using matrix elements. The optimization of characteristics of a polarizer was carried out in the operating Ku-band 10.7–12.8 GHz.

Conclusions. Suggested mathematical model of a waveguide polarizer with irises provides the account of heights of irises, distances between them and their thickness. The results obtained show that this model is simpler and faster for the calculation of electromagnetic characteristics compared to finite elements method, which is often used for analysis of microwave devices for various applications.
