Step Tapered Waveguide with Cylindrical Waveguide
International Journal of Computer Science and Information Security (IJCSIS) provide a forum for publishing empirical results relevant to both researchers and practitioners, and also promotes the publication of industry-relevant research, to address the significant gap between research and practice. Being a fully open access scholarly journal, original research works and review articles are published in all areas of the computer science including emerging topics like cloud computing, software development etc. It continues promote insight and understanding of the state of the art and trends in technology. To a large extent, the credit for high quality, visibility and recognition of the journal goes to the editorial board and the technical review committee. Authors are solicited to contribute to the journal by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences. The topics covered by this journal are diversed.

A. Design without tapering
The rectangular brick is directly connected to circular
waveguide. Port of rectangular brick (Port 2) is excited and
the S parameters are obtained by Transient Solver. 3D

Without tapering is shown in fig 1.

Rectangular Brick with Step tapering
Simulated results for S parameters & E field are
calculated for different step sizes for sizes of 4 mm & 10mm
their S11 and S21 are shown in Fig 5.
It is seen from Fig 5 that for step size 4 mm plots the
sufficient amount of power is reflected back which shows
that taper is not properly coupled and for step size 10 mm it
is seen that no power is reflected back hence source is safe

sufficient output is coupled to the output port as it is
approaching to 0dB i.e. no power is coupled from port 1 to
port 2 and vice versa.
