Abstract
A satellite system may include a reflector and a mast extending outwardly from the reflector. A radio frequency (RF) assembly may be carried by a distal end of the mast and include a conductive waveguide body having an RF cavity therein coupled with the reflector and a pin-receiving opening therein. An RF circuit module may include a housing carried by the conductive waveguide body, RF circuitry contained within the housing, and a signal coupling pin coupled to the RF circuitry and extending through the pin-receiving opening into the RF cavity.
