  • Abstract
    A method for the in-situ characterization of spurious modes in high power microwave transmission lines is presented. It uses hole couplers, which are integrated into a mitre-bend. The signals are proportional to the field strength at the mirror and allow to partly reconstruct the mode spectrum in the waveguide. The theoretical background is presented as well as results from measurements on prototypes.
