Abstract
This document describes a new concept of a mobile Ka band antenna for SATCOM on-the-move applications. Unlike most antennas in this field, this antenna exhibits polarization switching capabilities, it is low profile and shows a highly efficient performace thanks to the use of rectangular waveguides for the distribution network.
