New connecting structure for waveguides with special connectors

Abstract

This paper introduces new connecting structure for waveguides. The structure, similar to that of the SMA connector shell, especially shows its advantages for high-frequency and small waveguides. Compared to conventional waveguide connecting structures such as flanges, the proposed structure is easier to connect/disconnect and does not occupy spaces. Additionally, authors clarify that the connection performance of the proposed structure is almost the same as the conventional connecting structure.
