Abstract
A tapered septum in a square waveguide transduces it into a pair of rectangular waveguides. The output waveguides will be excited as a function of the polarization of the signals present in the square waveguide. The septum has a special shape that includes a tapered portion and a transverse portion proportioned to maximize the transducer bandwidth and minimize reflected power.
