OMT (Orthogonal Mode Transducer)

Orthogonal Mode Transducers (OMTs) are crucial components in microwave and RF systems, enabling the separation or combination of orthogonal polarization modes. They play a pivotal role in enhancing signal processing capabilities in applications such as satellite communications, radar systems, and radio astronomy, ensuring efficient and reliable signal transmission and reception.

Model selection

Some abbreviated model names repeat with different bands. Keep the full frequency requirement with the part number.

Material and power

The family lists aluminum/copper; all eight model rows specify Al. No numeric high-power rating is given; include CW and peak requirements.

Polarization and ports

Isolation and cross-polarization are separate ratings. Confirm the common-port drawing and any accompanying polarizer for the required feed-system polarization.
