Summary :

The transmission and reflection characteristics of a H-plane symmetrical T-junction having a reflector near the junction plane are theoretically studied. The reflector is an equilateral triangle post, and it is installed in contact with the wall of the through-guide facing the junction plane to improve the wave propagation from the truncated-guide to the through-guide. In case of equal cross section, we find an optimum reflector, the top angle of which triangle reflector is 0 degree and its height is about half of the guide width. Roughly speaking, the fin, that is, the reflector of 0 degree has the characteristic value of (transmission coefficient |S12| between the truncated-guide and the through-guide) 0.705 over a wide frequency range. This value is nearly equal to the upper limit value of |S12| 1/20.7071. Thus 99.4 percent (0.70522) of the energy fed from the truncated-guide transmits evenly into the other two arms, and 0.6 percent reflects. The problem is treated by a method of combining the boundary-element method and a hybrid-representation circuit equation.
