SMC has released the WR15 Circular Polarized Antenna Feeder, designed to deliver high efficiency and reliable performance for satellite communications, radar systems, and astronomy applications. The feeder assembly integrates a Circular Polarization Orthomode Transducer (CP OMT) with an antenna, enabling the separation or combination of right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) and left-hand circular polarization (LHCP) signals.
This dual-polarization capability ensures robust operation in multipath and reflective environments, while also enhancing information retrieval for radar systems. When paired with the antenna, the feeder assembly achieves a gain of 14.5 ± 1 dB, with strong matching performance, low and stable insertion loss, and high isolation. These characteristics make it a reliable solution for demanding applications where signal clarity and stability are critical.
