Abstract

This article presents a dual-polarized corrugated horn antenna incorporated a turnstile orthomode transducer (OMT) covering the full Ka-band (26.5–40 GHz). A three-stepped cylindrical tuning stub scattering element is designed in the turnstile junction to combine/split the two linearly polarized waves with high isolation. The proposed turnstile OMT shows a good simulated return loss better than 20 dB and a high isolation higher than 57 dB within the whole Ka-band. Then, a corrugated horn antenna with five-stage choke rings is designed. Finally, the proposed horn antenna incorporated in the turnstile OMT is fabricated and measured. The measured impedance bandwidth for |S_11/22|≤ −15 dB is 50.7% from 25 to 42 GHz. The measured peak gain is 11.9 dBi. The proposed antenna system is a promising candidate for the 5G millimeter-wave applications.
