Patent ID: 7847652

Claim:
An orthomode transducer, comprising: a first waveguide section configured to support the propagation of a signal having a first polarization, the first waveguide section coupled to an antenna port and extending to a first port; a second waveguide section configured to support the propagation of a signal having a second polarization which is substantially orthogonal to the first polarization, the second waveguide section coupled to the antenna port and extending to a second port, the second waveguide section including a plurality of second waveguide filter elements; and a third waveguide section configured to support the propagation of the signal having the second polarization, the third waveguide section having a port coupled to the antenna port, the third waveguide section comprising at least one third waveguide filter element, wherein the number of second waveguide filter elements is greater than the number of third waveguide filter elements.
