Abstract :
A new feed system is presented providing dual polarized angle diversity operation of microwave links. It requires only one feed horn to generate the two main and two diversity beams, due to the utilization of higher order modes. First experimental results are provided for a feed system which has been integrated in a 4×4 m shell antenna (XPD improved) operating in the frequency band 5.925-6.425 GHz.
