| QuinStar Technology's QWO
series orthomode transducers cover the frequency range of 26.5 to 110 GHz in
six waveguide bands. They are used to separate a signal applied to the circular waveguide
port into vertical and horizontal components at the two linear ports with greater than 25
dB isolation.
In reverse,
two orthogonal linearly-polarized signals can be combined, producing an output in the
circular waveguide port. |
The resultant polarization may be linear, circular, or elliptical depending
on the relative phase and amplitude of the two orthogonal input signals. An integrated
compact rectangular-to-circular transition (< 0.25"/6.35 mm) for the V port is
available as an option.
Orthomode
transducers operate over a bandwidth of typically 10% centered at a specific operating
frequency. They are used in multipolarization radars, sensors, radiometers and
instrumentation.
