Abstract
System details, design description and measured Passive Intermodulation (PIM) results for spacecraft feedchains operating at L and Ku Band are given. The L-Band feedchain consists of a Feedhorn, Polariser and Diplexer and the Ku-Band feed chain consists of a Feedhorn, Orthomode transducer and Diplexer. Techniques used for the minimisation of PIM generation are given.
