Abstract:
A waveguide device comprising:an input waveguide aligned along a first axis and configured to carry a first band signal having first and second polarities and a second band signal having first and second polarities, the first band signal being discharged through an output which is coaxial with the input waveguide, the input waveguide for coaxial alignment with a feed horn; an output waveguide for supporting and discharging the second band signal, the output waveguide being spaced from the input waveguide and extending along a second axis which is parallel to the first axis containing the input waveguide, the first axis being displaced from the second axis such that the second axis and the input waveguide are arranged in a nonintersecting manner; and first and second waveguides connecting the input waveguide to the output waveguide, the first waveguide supporting the first polarity of the second signal, the second waveguide supporting the second polarity of the second signal, the first and second waveguides being disposed substantially perpendicular to the input and output waveguides along a length of each such that the second band signal is fed into the input waveguide and then separated therefrom and carried within the first and second waveguides, before being discharged through the output waveguide.
