dc.description.abstractAn output coupler for a W-band high power wideband gyro-amplifier has been designed, manufactured and experimentally measured. It consists of a high performance sin2-parallel corrugated horn integrated with a broadband multi-layer window. The major design requirements are that the horn/window combination must have an input return loss lower than -30 dB over a 10 GHz bandwidth, provide a high quality output beam pattern, and operate under ultra-high vacuum conditions. The coupler converts a circular wave guide TE11 mode into the free space Laguerre Gaussian LG00 mode over the frequency band of 90–100 GHz with a measured return loss of between -30 and -40 dB and a simulated Gaussian coupling efficiency of over 99% at 94 GHz.
