Abstract :
In this contribution, a novel planar orthomode transducer is presented. It is based on a stepped waveguide technique that makes the transducer small and easy to handle. Several electromagnetic simulations were performed in order to optimize the transducer´s structure and to investigate possible production tolerances, respectively. The developed orthomode transducer was built up and measured in a back to back assembly. The broadband measurement results as well as its planar structure allow different kind of feeding which make the presented orthomode transducer suitable for numerous applications.
