The proposed solution allows to achieve high return loss and low insertion loss by a suitable selection of the of the external radius of the waveguide circular profile, which determines the waveguide wall thickness. High robustness to misalignment is obtained, improving the performance of a recently published work in the same topic. © 2021 URSI.enAn Improved Rectangular Waveguide Thermal Isolator for Radio Astronomy Applicationsconference paper10.23919/URSIGASS51995.2021.9560237https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9560237
