Abstract

The invention relates to a device for receiving and/or transmitting electromagnetic signals comprising three annular slots (20, 21, 22) which are tangent in pairs at two points P1 and P2. These slots are supplied by two supply lines (23, 24) so as to produce a line/slot transition. One of the lines 23 passes through the point P1 while the other line 24 passes through the point P2, the two lines being connected via a T-shaped junction at a common port 1. A diode 25 or 26 is mounted at the free end of each line, making it possible to simulate a short circuit or an open circuit at the end of one of the lines and an open circuit or a short circuit at the end of the other line.
