Abstract: In an example embodiment, an in-phase recombinant waveguide combiner/divider device can comprise: a single waveguide input; N waveguide outputs, wherein N is an integer greater than 2; a first waveguide dividing portion; a second waveguide dividing portion; a third waveguide dividing portion; and a waveguide combining portion. The waveguide combining portion can be configured to combine two signals that are each respectively received from the second waveguide dividing portion and third waveguide dividing portion. In general an in-phase recombinant waveguide combiner/divider can comprise more junctions than output ports of a conservative power divider network structure. In an example embodiment, for a N-way waveguide power divider, there can be at least N+1 waveguide junctions.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an in-phase H-plane T-junction can comprise: a first waveguide port; a second waveguide port; a third waveguide port, wherein the third waveguide port can be a common port; and an E-plane septum. The first, second, and third waveguide ports can be in the H-plane and can be each connected to each other in a T configuration. The T-junction can be configured such that microwave signals in a first band can be in-phase with each other at the first and second waveguide ports, and microwave signals in a second band can be in-phase with each other at the first and second waveguide ports. The H-plane T-junction can be at least one of a power combiner and a power divider.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an azimuth combiner comprises: a septum layer comprising a plurality of septum dividers; first and second housing layers attached to first and second sides of the septum layer; a linear array of ports on a first end of the combiner; wherein the first and second housing layers each comprise waveguide H-plane T-junctions; wherein the waveguide T-junctions can be configured to perform power dividing/combining; and wherein the septum layer evenly bisects each port of the linear array of ports. A stack of such azimuth combiners can form a two dimensional planar array of ports to which can be added a horn aperture layer, and a grid layer, to form a dual-polarized, dual-BFN, dual-band antenna array.
