Abstract

A low-profile single-ridge waveguide magic-T is proposed as a combination of two T-junctions at an X band. A slot coupling technique is used to reduce the component dimensions in the E-plane, thus leading to a low profile. The device can assume two configurations by arranging the sum and difference ports in the same or opposite direction, an attractive feature in the design of beamforming networks with complex routing. A magic-T prototype is fabricated using laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing techniques. Good agreement between simulations and measurements is found.
