Abstract
This paper addresses the radiation patterns launched from circular waveguide radiators as the first step in the design of a Vlasov-type mode convertor that will function at high power levels in the X-band frequency range (8 to 12 GHz). The radiating ends of the radiators are each cut at a specific angle relative to the center axis of the waveguide to form the waveguide launcher component of a Vlasov-type mode convertor. The far-field radiation patterns for three radiators were measured with an antenna pattern-mapping system.
