Abstract: The present invention relates to a guiding set for radio-electric waves comprising a pair of waveguides made up of a first waveguide and a second waveguide forming successive segments of a same transmission way for the radio-electric waves. The set is characterized in that it further comprises a connecting piece comprising two plates arranged opposite one another while defining an inner space between them, and delimiting means delimiting, in the inner space, a radio-electric wave transmission channel, the transmission channel emerging on the one hand on the first waveguide and on the other hand on the second waveguide.

Abstract: An MFPB antenna comprises a plurality of RF feeds with four ports and a BFN, the number of feeds per beam being equal to four, and a single structural interface board, covering all of the ports of the RF feeds, and comprising a plurality of through waveguides. The through waveguides are positioned according to a matrix with multiple rows and multiple columns. The RF feeds are grouped into subassemblies that are respectively integrated in various independent cluster sources mounted one beside the other on the front face of the interface board, the ports of the RF feeds of each cluster source being connected to the through waveguides. The BFN is composed of multiple independent linear partial BFNs, mounted side by side on the back face of the interface board, the various ports of the power combiners that are integrated in each linear partial BFN being connected to the through waveguides.
