Circular polarization hás been used in some cases to increase the capability and reliability of microwave systems. The desing employed here avoids introduccing several components to generate circular polarization (as such elements tend to increase the total voltage standing wave ratio of the system) by utilizing a single component capable of making the transformation from the original linear polarization in the retangular guide to the desired circular polarization. This component is known as a polarizer. This paper presents the development and results of a thesis project involving the construction of a polarizer in circular waveguide for the SHF band. The transformation from linear to circular polarization is obtained by using inductive and capacitive diaphrams dispposed longitudinaly in circular guide. The maximum voltage standing wave ratio measured in the model constructed was 1,1 and the maximum axial ratio was 1.2 dB for the band 6,8 to 7.8 GHz. Because lossy dielectric materials were not used in this polarizer low values of insertion loss are expected. The effects of the transition from retangular to circular guide are included in the measurements. In the introduction section of this paper the author describes the method for realizing circular polarization in circular waveguides by the use of two orthogonal TE 11 modes phased 90 0 apart with respect to each other. In Chapter 1 the theoretical fundamentals upon which the polarizer is based are analysed and in Chapter 2 a systematic analysis of the structure is reported, Chapter 3 and 4 describe, respectively, the investigations of the experimental model and the test results achieved.
