Compact Circular/Linear Polarization Dual-Band Prime-Focus Feed for Space Communication

Compact Circular/Linear Polarization Dual-Band Prime-Focus Feed for Space Communication

We propose a novel, compact, prime-focus antenna feed for space communication. The feed requires full-wave simulator optimization for a given parabolic reflector and is designed to operate simultaneously on two bands, offering LHC/RHC polarizations for the 13 cm band and V/H polarizations for the 70...
