[EN] Multipactor (MP) is a high-power effect severely limiting the performance of satellite communication links. A reference sample is normally used in the experimental setups for MP testing in order to verify its correct ...
In this paper we propose a novel Ka-band waveguide diplexer for passive intermodulation (PIM) measurements. Due to the higher operating frequency, this type of measurement setup usually requires wideband filters. In ...

[EN] This letter proposes a simple procedure to implement low-passive intermodulation (PIM) terminations in waveguide technology to measure conducted backward PIM. The procedure consists in inserting a filter before the ...
[EN] The objective of this article is to explore the use of dielectrics to reconfigure remotely microwave filters in rectangular waveguide. To start, we study experimentally the phase shift that is achievable using dielectric ...
