Abstract
An orthomode transducer includes a first waveguide section, a second waveguide section coupled to the first waveguide section, and a third waveguide section coupled to the first and second waveguide sections. The first waveguide section is configured to support the propagation of a signal having a first polarization, and includes a first waveguide aperture sized to communicate the signal having the first polarization therethrough. The second waveguide is configured to support the propagation of a signal having a second polarization which is orthogonal to the first polarization, the second waveguide section having a single internal septum and a second waveguide aperture sized to communicate the signal having the second polarization therethrough. The third waveguide is configured to support the propagation of either a signal having the first polarization or the second polarization, and includes a third waveguide aperture sized to communicate the signals having either the first or second polarization therethrough.
