Abstract—TE11 mode is required in circular waveguide for The second method is used to generate dominant TE11
better use of power source because TM01 mode has axial null. So, mode in circular waveguide using a rectangular waveguide
proposed paper presents TE11 mode launcher in circular and a tapered structure. The TE10 mode in rectangular
waveguide for S-band. Two methods are used here to feed the waveguide has been generated using transverse feed and then
power in circular waveguide or to launch dominant TE11 mode in
a rectangular to circular transition is used which coverts TE10
circular waveguide. In the first method, Transverse feed (feed is
perpendicular to axis of circular waveguide) is given to circular mode in rectangular waveguide to TE11 mode in circular
waveguide. This feed will work as TEM to TE mode conversion waveguide.
