  • Cross-polar and co-polar transceiver
    Patent number: 7474173
    Abstract: A transceiver allowing transmission of a co-polar transmit signal and simultaneous reception of co-polar receive and cross-polar receive signals. An integrated orthogonal mode transducer and diplexer module containing a plurality of filters between a feed port, co-polar transmission port, co-polar reception port and cross-polar reception port is mounted within the transceiver housing with the feed port aligned with or forming the feed flange of the transceiver. A transmitter printed circuit board is aligned with the transmission waveguide port and a receiver printed circuit board is aligned with the co-polar reception and cross-polar reception ports of the integrated orthomode transducer and diplexer module.
