Orthomode Transducer up to 260 GHz

Waveguide Orthomode Transducers (OMTs) up to 260 GHz are essential components in modern RF and mmWave systems, separating or combining two orthogonal polarizations through a common waveguide port. bq-microwave delivers compact, high-precision OMTs in waveguide sizes WR-15 to WR-4 with excellent cross-polar isolation for SATCOM ground stations, radar front-ends and antenna characterisation.

Key Features

• Frequency range from 50 GHz to 260 GHz
• Waveguide sizes WR-15, WR-12, WR-10, WR-8, WR-6, WR-5 and WR-4
• High cross-polar isolation for clean polarization separation
• Low insertion loss across all frequency bands
• Compact design for integrated antenna systems
• Custom configurations and frequency bands available

Available Frequency Ranges

Applications

• SATCOM ground stations with dual polarization
• Radar systems and polarimetric radar (weather, security)
• Antenna measurements and polarization characterisation
• 5G/6G mmWave research and test setups
• Radio astronomy and Earth observation
• Compact beamforming and multi-port antenna arrays

Standard and Custom Designs

Our standard OMTs are stocked or available with short lead times across all common waveguide bands. For specific frequency ranges, mechanical requirements or special cross-polar specifications, our manufacturer partner develops custom OMTs with precise polarization performance.

Polarization Test Setups with OMTs

Orthomode Transducers enable simultaneous capture of both linear polarizations without mechanical polariser rotation. They are key components in modern polarimetric measurement setups, co-pol/cross-pol characterisation and antenna calibration. bq-microwave supports your selection and system integration for frequencies up to 260 GHz.
