New Coaxial Interconnection. Application to Wilkinson Dividers/Combiners

This paper presents a new solution for the interconnection of N coaxial waveguides through a quarterwavelength resonator. The proposed solution is narrowband, but greatly simplifies the interconnection of a large number of coaxial waveguides, by reversing the polarity of the lines coming from one side with those coming from the other. To illustrate the idea, a two-way Wilkinson divider/combiner is presented. Multipactor simulated performances and experimental S-parameters are presented.
