Abstract

Abstract A compact satellite broadcasting receiver is described comprising circular waveguide, a strip-line-shaped probe projected into the circular waveguide, a reflecting element provided backward from the probe in the circular waveguide and a microwave circuit having a strip line provided around the circular waveguide and connected with the probe. Furthermore, a satellite broadcasting receiver capable of simultaneously receiving two kind of microwaves polarized perpendicular to each other is realized by jointing two compact satellite broadcasting receivers as mentioned avobe with a relative arrangement of the strip-line-shaped probes placed at right angles.
