A mobile-beam antenna mounting comprises a supporting base, at least one reflector and a transmission and/or reception feed. The feed is mounted in the mounting so as to be immobile relative to the supporting base and the mounting also comprises a mobile support bearing the reflector, the mobile support being mounted on the supporting base with link means suitable for displacing it about at least one fixed displacement axis passing through the phase center of the feed.

An orthomode transducer device (D), for an antenna, comprises (i) a main guide (GP) designed for the propagation along a main axis of first and second modes having polarizations orthogonal to each other and provided with a first end coupled to a circular port (AC) and a second end, (ii) a first auxiliary guide (GA1) designed for the propagation of the first mode along a first auxiliary axis and provided with a first end coupled in series to the second end of the main guide via a series window (FSP) and with a second end coupled to a series port (AS), and (iii) a second auxiliary guide (GA2) designed for the propagation of the second mode along a second auxiliary axis, coupled to the main guide via a parallel window (FPL) and provided with a first end coupled to a parallel port (AP). The first (GA1) and second (GA2) auxiliary guides are superposed. The parallel window (FPL) is defined between an upper wall (PS) of the main guide (GP) and a lower wall (PI) of the second auxiliary guide (GA2) and oriented in relation to the main axis so as to enable coupling of the main guide to the second auxiliary guide for the selective transfer of the second mode from one to the other, and so as to make the first mode propagate between the main guide and the first auxiliary guide.
