It is an object of the present invention to convert the polarization of an antenna into a circular polarization using an integrated single lattice-like arrangement whereby the differing cross-polarization components distributed across the antenna aperture are suppressed during the conversion or the resulting polarization consisting of co-polarization and cross-polarization are converted into the pure desired polarization. The two objects of polarization conversion and orthogonal polarization suppression previously were executed with two separate devices and independently of each other. |
