摘要
A compact asymmetric orthomode transducer (OMT) with high isolation between the vertical and horizontal Ports is developed for the X-band synthetic aperture radar application. The basic idea of the design is to deploy the combined E-and H-plane bends within the common arm. Moreover, an offset between each polarization axis is introduced to enhance the isolation and decrease the size to be around one-third of most of the existing asymmetric OMTs. The OMT achieves better than 22.5-dB matching level and 65-dB isolation level between the two modes. Good agreement is obtained between measurements and full-wave simulations.
