    Abstract: A waveguide antenna includes a number of longitudinal waveguides with lateral and longitudinal slots arranged to emit electromagnetic fields with separate directions of polarization. The waveguide antenna includes a first waveguide having a first rectangular cross-section with lateral slots at substantially right angles with respect to the longitudinal axis of the first waveguide. The lateral slots are arranged in a first short side of the first waveguide. The waveguide antenna also includes a second waveguide having a second rectangular cross-section with longitudinal slots arranged in a second short side at substantially right angles with respect to the lateral slots, and a separating wall. The first and second waveguides are joined at respective first and second broad sides with the first and second short sides facing the same direction.
