Abstract: For improved Ku band communications, an antenna system includes a planar antenna surface, at least one waveguide feed network, and a waveguide. The planar antenna surface is coupled to at least one port. The at least one waveguide feed network includes an H plane junction splitter and at least two E plane junction splitters. The H plane junction splitter is disposed on a channel septum in a channel. A splitter axis of the channel septum and the H plane junction splitter is rotated about a P axis. The at least two E plane junction splitters are each disposed on septum and coupled to the H plane junction splitter via the channel. The waveguide is coupled to the waveguide feed network.
