This paper presents a technique to optimize the shape of waveguide components in H-plane. The technique utilizes the numerical optimization process which employs the vector finite element method. In the optimization process, the sensitivity of an objective function with respect to design variables is computed by introducting adjoint variables, which makes the computation easy. The steepest descent method is then employed to update design variables. As a numerical example, an H-plane waveguide teejunction was considered to obtain optimized shape. Comparison between the initial and optimized shape was made.
