Patent ID: 6842085

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 comprising a first waveguide aperture sized to communicate the signal having the first polarization therethrough; a second waveguide section coupled to the first waveguide section and configured to support the propagation of a signal having a second polarization which is substantially orthogonal to the first polarization, the second waveguide section comprising a single internal septum and a second waveguide aperture sized to communicate the signal having the second polarization therethrough; and a third waveguide section coupled to the first waveguide section and the second waveguide section, and configured to support the propagation of a signal having the first polarization or the second polarization, the third waveguide section comprising a third waveguide aperture sized to communicate the signal having the first signal polarization or the second polarization therethrough.
