Abstract

An ortho mode transducer (OMT)/multiplexer assembly having a corrugated junction and a coaxial dual mode waveguide resonator disposed around a central cylindrical waveguide. The corrugated junction diplexes signals, the higher frequencies passing through the central cylindrical waveguide and the lower frequencies passing through the coaxial dual mode resonator. Apertures in the dual mode resonator couple to an exit port and extract a first polarization from the lower frequencies passing through the dual mode resonator. The assembly may include a second aperture in the dual mode resonator for extracting a second polarization in a manner similar to the operation of the first aperture.
