Abstract

An antenna having two crossed cylindro-parabolic reflectors in which the generatrices of said reflectors are orthogonal. The source is placed close to the center of the main reflector, which is further provided with polarization rotation means. The auxiliary reflector is placed facing the main reflector and it is such that it is transparent to a wave polarized linearly in one direction and reflecting to the waves polarized in an orthogonal direction.
