Abstract:
A converter for satellite communication reception, comprising:a horn configured to receive first and second linear polarized waves orthogonal to each other; a case having two waveguides configured to branch the first and second linear polarized waves, respectively, and to propagate the corresponding first and second linear polarized waves; a circuit substrate fitted to the case within a plane parallel to a direction that the first and second linear polarized waves propagate; and two probes disposed on the circuit substrate, wherein the two probes comprise pin members that are oriented orthogonal to each other within the corresponding waveguides; wherein the first and second linear polarized waves produce signals that can be received by the two probes on the circuit substrate; and wherein the two pin members each have an L shape, and wherein a ground pattern overlying the circuit substrate is configured as a reflective face for the pin members.
