Abstract
A waveguide component for an orthomode junction or an orthomode transducer includes a common waveguide with a longitudinal direction, the common waveguide includes at least a first portion and a second portion with different cross-sections, and two coupling probes, each arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal direction. The coupling probes are further arranged to couple to different polarization components of an electromagnetic field present in the common waveguide. The second portion of the common waveguide has a cross-section with at most two-fold rotational symmetry.
