ABSTRACT:
A feed assembly for an antenna having a non-circular reflector, in which the feed assembly includes a feed horn capable of correcting the distortions of circularly polarized signals caused by the non-circular reflector profile, and wherein the feed horn is coupled with a polarizer that is field-switchable between linear and circular polarization modes of operation. The feed assembly can include a second receive-only feed located in close proximity to the feed horn for communication with adjacent satellites.
