Abstract

See full text

An ortho-mode transducer may include a common waveguide terminating in a common port. A horizontal branch waveguide may terminate in a horizontal port. The horizontal branch waveguide may couple a first linearly polarized mode from the horizontal port to the common waveguide. The horizontal branch waveguide may comprise one or more ridged waveguide segments. A vertical branch waveguide may terminate in a vertical port opposed to the horizontal port. The vertical branch waveguide may couple a second linearly polarized mode from the vertical port to the common waveguide, the second linearly polarized mode orthogonal to the first linearly polarized mode.
