    摘要: In an exemplary embodiment, a dual-band four-port orthomode transducer (OMT) is molded or cast. The OMT may be external to a transceiver housing or included as an integrated portion of the transceiver housing or a drop-in module. In an exemplary embodiment, a four-port OMT is formed from two pieces, the two pieces having a joint adjacent to or aligned to the axis of the common port. In an exemplary embodiment, the OMT is substantially planar and formed of a split-block embodiment. The two OMT pieces are joined and held together with a plurality of discrete fasteners. Furthermore, the OMT is configured to switch polarizations. The polarization switching is initiated using a remote signal and can facilitate load balancing.

    摘要: A feed horn and systems and methods of making and using the feed horn are presented. Exemplary feed horns include a first portion comprising a dual mode geometry and a second portion comprising an axial corrugation geometry. The feed horn may operate simultaneously in a plurality of separate frequency bands (e.g., from about 18.3 GHz to about 20.2 GHz and from about 29.1 GHz to about 30.0 GHz) and a plurality of separate waveguide modes (e.g., TE11, TM11 or HE11 modes); simultaneously operating over two bandwidth segments of at least 1900 MHz that are separated by at least 5000 MHz. The feed horn may have a short axial length (e.g. less than 4 wavelengths at 18.3 GHz), and it may be configured to operate in a prime fed offset reflector antenna system. In addition, the feed horn may be formed as a single piece via a single casting pull.

    摘要: In an exemplary embodiment, a phased array solid-state architecture has dual-polarized feeds and is manufactured, for example, on highly flexible silicon germanium (SiGe). The implementation of dual-polarized feeds facilitates the operation of phased arrays where the polarization can be statically or dynamically controlled on a subarray or element basis. In an exemplary embodiment, the sub-component control is configured to optimize a performance characteristic associated with polarization, such as phase or amplitude adjustment. An active phased array architecture may replace traditional distributed and GaAs implementations for the necessary functions required to operate electronically steerable phased array antennas. The architecture combines active versions of vector generators, power splitters, power combiners, and RF hybrids in a novel fashion to realize a fully or substantially monolithic solution for a wide range of antenna applications that can be realized with radiating elements having single-polarized or dual-polarized feeds.
