Waveguide transformers are widely used on antenna’s feeder chains and other microwave devices. Although the theory of quarter wavelength transformers is well known, the current electrical performance of such microwave devices has been pushing the waveguide transformers design to its limit. For attending such level of requirements, and considering the number of existing variables on a waveguide transformer design, very accurate numerical techniques has been applied on its analyses, (such as FDTD, mode matching, etc), and optimization techniques as well. On the other hand, such numerical techniques are very memory and/or CPU/time consuming, which do not match with the cost objective of those simple concept transformers. This work proposes an alternative technique, based on close-form models derived from varational theory. A heuristic model is also proposed for attending the two plane transformer case, which can be easily applied for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous structures. Keywords Waveguide;
