3-D Printed Dually Symmetric Orthomode Transducer and Horn Antenna at X-Band
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A dually symmetric orthomode transducer (OMT) and horn antenna are presented for both single port linearly polarized operation and dual port circular polarization use. The feed uses two waveguide splitters and a feed bend to feed a four-port horn antenna that has the two groups of ports orthogonal to each other to produce a symmetric radiation pattern. The feed is printed from 316L stainless steel while the horn is printed from a plastic polymer and metallized using aluminum tape. The structure is based on WR 90 waveguide and covers the guide’s full operating band of 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz. Peak realized gain values of 20.5 dBi were measured with cross polarization rejection of over 40 dB. Here linearly polarized and circularly polarized results are presented, the latter using an off-the-shelf hybrid to control the phase for the two ports. Enabled by the symmetric feed, both the linear and circularly polarized radiation patterns were highly symmetric.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
