摘要: A reconfigurable waveguide polariser for changing the linear polarisation of TE11 mode in a circular is presented. liquid crystal based twisted nematic cell concept, similar to display, innovatively adapted tunable RF polariser. The state can be continuously turned range from 90° −90° with relatively low insertion loss between 4 5 dB at 50 GHz.
