Abstract
Compact waveguide bends with low return loss over the full waveguide b and width are realized by placing properly selected discontinuities in side the curve. The component is designed by using an extremely effici ent computer code which employs the local modes approach to analyze cu rved sections, while discontinuities are rigorously accounted for by c onsidering their multimode equivalent circuit. A simple technique to s elect the appropriate matching elements is described and examples of f ull-band matched bends are provided.
