Millitech series DLH dielectrically loaded horn antennas offer advantages of both horn lens antennas and simple horn antennas. These antennas offer high gain, superb return loss and low sidelobes over full circular waveguide bands. At the same time, they are also compact and rugged due to their solid dielectric construction. The performance characteristics are very repeatable between units, and their simple mechanical design allows them to be easily integrated with frontends.

The series OMT orthomode transducer is used to combine or separate two orthogonal linearly polarized signals simultaneously. Typically, the output (or input) port is in the circular waveguide, which can support linear polarization. Isolation is greater than 25 dB between the two linear polarizations, and nar¬rower band versions with greater isolation are also available. This transducer can be used in conjunction with the series POL polarizer to handle circular polarized signals.
