Abstract From the Canadian patent

A microwave multiplexer (20) has a set of independently tunable signal channels coupled to a common waveguide (22). Each of the channels has input and output 3dB couplers (40, 106) which are joined by cylindrical radiators (32, 34) carrying circularly polarized waves. Both TE and TM waves are propagated within a plurality of resonant cavities (36 38) within, each of the filters (32, 34). Coupling between the cavities (36, 38) is provided by an array of slots (88) and an array of probes (90) wherein the slots (88) couple TE waves and the probes (90) couple TM waves. Adjustment of the slots (88) and the probes (90) provides for independent coupling coefficients for the two propagation modes. …
