Abstract

A bend portion is provided on the inside of a waveguide main body for bending a proceeding direction of a radio wave from a waveguide on the side of a primary feed horn. The radio wave is transmitted with its proceeding direction changed such that an electric field of the radio wave is parallel with a conversion unit. Further provided on the inside of the waveguide main body is a conversion unit including a microstrip line for converting the radio wave from the bend portion to supply electric power.
