Broadband transformers from rectangular to T‐septum waveguides are presented. By utilizing both ridge and T‐septum waveguide sections in the transformer design, the thicknesses of the ridge and the T‐septa can be kept constant, which simplifies fabrication. The three‐ and four‐section designs achieve relative bandwidths of 57% and 72%, respectively. Both designs are verified through computations with commercially available field solver software. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
