Abstract: A wave receiving apparatus comprising a reflector; a conduit for guiding waves, having an open end allowing entrance of polarized waves reflected by the reflector; a septum polarizer monolithically formed with the conduit for effecting a circular-linear polarization conversion; a pair of signal collectors pointing to the same direction or towards each other and positioned at a distance of quarter-wavelength away from the rear end of the conduit for receiving wave signals; and a circuitry module, positioned sidelong next to said conduit seen from said open end into said conduit, to which the signal collectors are electrically connected for handling wave signals.

Abstract: This invention relates to an antenna operable in a multi-mode radio transceiver. One aspect of the present invention, provides a radio antenna having resonant frequencies operable to receive and transmit radio signals in different frequency bands according to two operating protocols. In accordance with another aspect of the invention the antenna is operable according to more than two operating protocols and frequency bands. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of operating the antenna.
