Abstract

Modern information systems use circularly polarized signals. Among them are tracking systems, remote sensing systems, satellite television systems. The use of circularly polarized signals in satellite communication systems allows to combat multipath propagation of signals in the environment, which reduces interference. By reflecting signals from different objects, they transform their polarization. This makes it possible to reduce signal distortions in the receiving device, which increases the information capacity of wireless data transmission channels. In satellite communications, multi-band horn antennas are widely used. The use of such devices allows transmission of signals with high power and reception of signals with low noise level. Such systems are used as powering a reflector antenna with a wide bandwidth. For such applications, a horn antenna device has been proposed in which signals can be excited that produce left-hand circularly polarized signals and right-hand circularly polarized signals. The proposed horn antenna was powered through a slot that was cut in a rectangular waveguide. Due to the 45º angle of the slot, the antenna can generate signals with double circular polarization. The proposed design can be used without polarizing devices, which must be developed separately. The developed design of the horn antenna at the operating frequency of 16 GHz provides a peak antenna gain of 24 dB for signals with right circular polarization and a peak value of a gain of 18 dB for signals with left circular polarization. The polarization isolation is greater than 12 dB. Moreover, at the operating frequency, the maximum value of the reflection coefficient takes on a value of –17 dB. Thus, the developed waveguide slot feed section for antennas with circular polarization provide rather good characteristics in a narrow frequency band.
