            Abstract : 
This paper presents a new compact orthomode transducer (OMT) able to extract or combine two orthogonal linear polarizations in a very compact manner with simple manufacturing process. The component looks similar to the well-known septum polarizer but contrary to this one, the new component is able to handle dual linear polarization.
