Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a 1.2 GHz C-band Rx/Tx VSAT system. Due to stringent electrical requirements, waveguide technology was selected over the microstrip and/or stripline design approaches. The developed system consists of a corrugated conical horn, an orthomode transducer (OMT), and lowand pass-band filters.
