➊ TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE
• Pattern shape
• On-axis polarization purity
• Off-axis polarization purity
• Low return loss / VSWR
• Port-to-port isolation
➋ DESIGN
• Consists of an orthomode junction (OMJ) feeding
a circular, open-ended or corrugated aperture
• OMJ based on a quad-ridge circular waveguide
with external feeding circuits
• OMJ feeds directly into a circular waveguide
providing wideband performance
• Electrical symmetry for mono-mode excitation
enforced by balanced feeding on a 1:3
bandwidth
➌ REPEATABILITY
• Stiff and robust mechanical design
• Precision machined
• High reliability connectors
• High reliability of external components
