Patent ID: 8125400

Claim:
An antenna comprising: a. a reflector ( 602 ); b. a base ( 106 ), wherein said reflector is connected to said base; c. a feed assembly ( 101 ) comprising: i. a feed horn ( 502 ); ii. a waveguide integrator a distal end 401 A connected to said feed horn, and a proximal end ( 401 B); d. a support arm ( 510 ) having a proximal end, a distal end, at least one internal partition ( 513 ), and a transmit filter ( 509 ) and a receive filter ( 516 ), the transmit filter and receive filter on opposing sides of the internal partition ( 513 ), the receive filter and transmit filter joined in parallel; wherein said distal end of said support arm is connected to said proximal end of said waveguide, adapter, and wherein said internal partition of said support arm extends from said proximal end of said support arm to said distal end of said support arm; and, e. a first connector ( 601 ) connecting said proximal end of said support arm to at least one of said reflector and said base; wherein said partition of said support arm and said partition of said waveguide adapter are functionally continuous, whereby at least two separate waveguides are integrated within said waveguide adapter and within said support arm, each waveguide being continuous from said proximal end of said WGI, through said transmit filter, and receive filter, to said proximal end of said support arm.
