Abstract
A waveguide for guiding an arbitrarily polarized electrical field includes an elongated housing having a sidewall and a pair of feed ports located on the housing sidewall. One of the feed ports guides the horizontal component of the electrical field, while the other feed port guides the vertical component of the electrical field. A pair of planar septums are disposed within the housing and intersect along a line parallel to the axis of the housing.
