In this work we present a 3D printed mux/demux device based on rectangular waveguides. The principle of operation of the proposed technology relies on the coupled mode theory. The proposed device is able to merge and separate two independent broadband input channels into a single output channel. This represents an attractive option for novel passive elements able to process broadband THz signals for communication proposes.
