Abstract: First and second waveguides which have respective axes thereof arranged parallel to each other are respectively held by dielectric feeders. A projection wall or a thick wall is formed as a correction part on a front surface of a waterproof cover which covers radiation parts of the dielectric feeders. Due to such a constitution, when radio waves transmitted from neighboring first and second satellites are converged by a reflector and are incident on the inside of respective waveguides, it is possible to delay a phase of radio waves which pass the waterproof cover by the correction part (projection wall or thick wall) so that it is possible to adjust such that radiation patterns of radio waves which are incident on the respective waveguides are reflected on a common portion of the reflector whereby the required reflector can be miniaturized.

Abstract: A waveguide has a circuit board disposed therein so that the circuit board is orthogonal to the waveguide axis, and the circuit board has a first probe and a second probe formed thereon for respectively extracting the vertically and horizontally polarized waves, and has a fine radiation pattern also formed thereon which intersects each of the axes of the first and second probes at about 45 degrees. The fine radiation pattern is disposed in the vicinity of the waveguide axis and is formed by patterning in a rectangular shape that is asymmetrical relative to each of the axes of the two probes. This configuration allows the fine radiation pattern having a relatively small shape to prevent the electric field of these polarized waves in the waveguide from being disturbed, thereby leading to a reduction in reflection of these polarized waves at the fine radiator while the radiator achieves sufficient isolation between the vertically and horizontally polarized waves.
