Abstract: A polarization separating reflector is constructed for use in microwave transmitting antennas or in microwave receiving antennas. The signal supply to the transmitting antennas and the signal retrieval from the receiving antennas may be symmetrical or nonsymmetrical. Such antennas may or may not be equipped with subreflectors. Such antennas have a polarization selectively reflecting lattice structure on or within a dielectric carrier. This antenna structure is resonantly constructed out of separate dipoles having different lengths, preferably in the form of a linear dipole lattice. The dipoles are arranged in a staggered manner, colinearly, or at an angle relative to a reference line, such as the vertical, as desired.
