Abstract
A reflective waveguide variable power divider/combiner comprises an orthomode tee section, which includes a section of cylindrical waveguide and a rotatable reflective phase shifter section. The rotatable reflective phase shifter section is rotatably connected to the orthomode tee section by a cylindrical choke joint. The orthomode tee section includes a single orthomode tee unit. The reflective waveguide variable power divider/combiner terminates at a short circuit that separates a motor from the rotatable reflective phase shifter section. The motor is configured to rotate the rotatable reflective phase shifter section relative to the orthomode tee section.
