Abstract

This paper introduces new connecting structure for waveguides. The structure, similar to that of the SMA connector shell, especially shows its advantages for high-frequency and small waveguides. Compared to conventional waveguide connecting structures such as flanges, the proposed structure is easier to connect/disconnect and does not occupy spaces. Additionally, authors clarify that the connection performance of the proposed structure is almost the same as the conventional connecting structure.
