Abstract

A dual mode antenna that allows both millimeter wave radiated energy and rared radiated energy to enter a single aperture and propagate through a common transmission device to a point where the respective energies are divided to follow separate paths for subsequent processing. An electromagnetic transmission guide for waveguide comprises first and second parallel tubular members having beam directing reflectors and lenses therein for maintaining low-loss, gaussian beam propagation of radiated energy therethrough. Cassegrainian optics of a cassegrainian antenna system are positioned for directing the millimeter and infrared energy into a common, circular end of said tubes where the energy impinges on beam directing means that separates the respective energies, directing them into the respective parallel tubes along two separate and distinct paths.
