  • Tri-band feed assembly systems and methods
    Patent number: 10320080
    Abstract: A feed assembly for that operates at different frequency bands (e.g., low, mid and high frequency bands) is provided herein. The feed assembly includes a feed horn common to low, mid and high frequency bands, a coaxial polarizer to launch signals in the low band frequency band, a coaxial orthomode transducer (OMT) to launch signals in the low band frequency band and supports the mid and high frequency bands, and a polyrod disposed in a center conductor of the feed assembly, the polyrod common to the mid and high frequency bands. The feed assembly includes a tri-band feed assembly having different portions to support signals in the low frequency band and signals in the mid and high frequency bands.
