Abstract:
1. An orthomode transducer, OMT, comprising: junctions consisting of: a turnstile junction with a matching feature for electromagnetic coupling of a polarization diplexed waveguide with four waveguide paths; and two E-plane Y junctions, each Y junction coupling a pair of the waveguide paths that are oppositely directed at the turnstile junction, and paired waveguide paths extending between the turnstile junction and respective Y junctions, each waveguide path being paired with a waveguide path having a same electrical length between the turnstile and the respective E-plane Y junction; wherein the OMT is formed in 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 blocks, including a single block having a substantially planar surface that: meets the turnstile junction and includes the matching feature; and defines part of initial segments of the four waveguide paths.
