This paper presents a novel type of polarizer that is composed of grooved circular waveguides. The presented polarizer is suitable for realizing high performance and low fabrication cost in Ka-band and above because of simple structure. An accurate design of the polarizer is performed using mode-matching techniques. A Ka-band polarizer fabricated with the aid of the design technique has realized excellent performances.
