Abstract
The meander-line polarizer consists of several printed-circuit sheets with etched-copper meander lines. The sheets are spaced about one-quarter wavelength apart. This communication explains the principle of operation of the polarizer, describes the design procedure, and gives dimensions and performance data of a typical polarizer. For example, an axial ratio of better than 1.5 dB has been obtained overXband. The polarizer can be used for medium high-power densities. A theoretical analysis of dissipation loss and experimental results of high-power tests are presented.Keywords
