We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

I think the root cause of this is: some modes flips signs:

My tests show that in the following two cases the port modes are the same:

1: the ports do not shift;

2: using one waveguide

Why they change is hard say, as mentioned previously, we cannot control the didrection of mode direction.

I would like to check the actual device, and suggest that you manually check if the modes are the same.Â
