Abstract

The ClOVER instrument (described elsewhere in this volume) isbeing built to measure the B-mode polarisation of the Cosmic MicrowaveBackground. Each of the 256 pixels is made up a pseudo-correlationreceiver that can be realised using either waveguide or microstriptechnology. In this work we present a design study for a possiblewaveguide-based solution. Each of the individual components has beenoptimised using electromagnetic finite-element modelling software(HFSS).
