Abstract (en)

An electromagnetic waveguide unit such as a diplexer includes a signal monitoring arrangement having a sampling passage (6) which links two sections (3, 4) of the waveguide for testing purposes allowing a proportion of the signal to bypass an electromagnetic cavity filter 5. The passage contains a cavity 7, and the waveguide sections have tuning projections 8 and 9 disposed opposite the passage 6. The size of the holes in the waveguide wall can thus be reduced to minimise return losses whilst allowing sampling across a broader range of operating frequencies. In addition, the spacing between the waveguide sections can be increased giving greater design flexibility. <IMAGE>
