            Abstract : 
The input impedance and transmission coefficients of a coax-to-waveguide adapter are analyzed for out-of-band frequencies. Numerical results are shown for an S-band adapter for frequencies from 2 to 10 GHz. The above-band response is frequency sensitive because of the presence of higher order propagating modes in the waveguide.
