Patent ID: 6950073

Claim:
A communication subsystem comprising: a plurality of antennas each adapted to receive an information signal; a plurality of orthomode transducers, each orthomode transducer coupled to a corresponding one of the plurality of antennas, each orthomode transducer having a first port and a second port, each orthomode transducer being adapted to receive the information signal from the corresponding antenna and to provide at the first port a first component signal having a first polarization and at the second port a second component signal having a second polarization; a feed network, coupled to the plurality of antennas via the plurality of orthomode transducers, the feed network being adapted to receive the first component signal and the second component signal from each orthomode transducer and to provide a first summed component signal at a first feed port and a second summed component signal at a second feed port; and a phase correction device coupled to the first feed port and the second feed port and adapted to receive the first summed component signal and the second summed component signal from the feed network; wherein the phase correction device is adapted to phase match the first summed component signal with the second summed component signal.
