Abstract: This paper presents a method of moment-based analysis of an E-H plane T-junction to find its scattering parameters. The results show that the network is not matched at its ports. Therefore, matching networks have been included in the structure to establish matching at the ports. The matching structure includes an inductive window at the H-plane arm and a bisected funnel structure at the junction. Results of the modified structure show simultaneous matching at all the four ports at 9 GHz, which makes it suitable for X-band application.
