NSI-MI offers a dual polarized feed (ANT-DPF) designed to operate over a standard rectangular waveguide band covering a 12.4 to 18 GHz frequency range. This feed combines a high-performance broadband orthomode transducer with a precision circular waveguide feeding a circularly symmetric waveguide aperture. The two ports of the feed excite two orthogonal modes in the circular guide which radiate orthogonal linearly-polarized fields with cross-polarization suppression better than 35 dB.
