Abstract
A constant-impedance transition is constructed which realizes a curved conical waveguide with constant characteristic impedance. The smooth curves ensure that the electrical field strength in the transition is only slightly higher than the adjoining coaxial line. The transition is suited to application in high power radial combiners.
