Abstract

Abstract

With the development of satellite communication technology, the demand for communication capacity is increasing. Broadening existing communication bandwidth is a key technology of satellite communication antenna. In order to extend the C band satellite communication, covering the receiving band 3.625~4.800 GHz and the transmitting band 5.850~7.025 GHz, a compact broadband four-port dual linear polarization feed network is designed. The broadband characteristics are achieved by employing a broadband orthomode transducer and two identical E-plane side coupling T-junction duplexers. The extended C band exceeds the bandwidth of a standard rectangular waveguide, so an octave bandwidth concept for compact waveguide transitions based on the use of octagonal-shaped sections is presented. A prototype of the feed network is developed. Simulated and measured results show good agreements. Measurements show that, this compact 4-port network provides Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) better than 1.35 in all ports, insertion losses less than 0.5 dB, isolation Tx/Rx greater than 95 dB.
