1. A two-band multimode microwave source for the simultaneous radiation of waves in a lower-frequency band and in a higher-frequency band, comprising a waveguide structure forming a first cavity of rectangular cross-section and including two first pairs of waveguides which terminate at a discontinuity plane and are separated from each other by a first block projecting convergingly beyond said discontinuity plane into said first cavity, said first pairs of waveguides emitting into said first cavity a lower-frequency first wave, said first block being hollow and containing two second pairs of waveguides separated by a second block, said first block forming a second cavity communicating with said second pairs of waveguides and opening into said first cavity for emitting a higher-frequency second wave into the latter, said first cavity having an output aperture spaced from said second cavity in the direction of wave propagation for radiating both said first and second waves.
