Abstract :
A novel mode converter with dual-slot structure consisting of a ring-loaded slot and a straight slot is proposed and investigated for an L/C dual-band corrugated horn. The L/C dual-band corrugated horn with the novel mode converter provides low reflection and symmetric radiation patterns across the L/C dual-band.
