Dual Linear Polarized Lens Horn

Antenna
8 to 160 GHz, 30 dBi Directivity

DESCRIPTION
Anteral’s Dual Polarized Lens Horn Antennas (DPLHA) are an integrated system composed
of an orthomode transducer (OMT) that provides high isolation and cross-polarization
(XP) cancellation and a conical horn antenna with a plano-convex Teflon (PTFE) lens
added in the aperture, in order to apply phase correction and achieve high gain, low
VSWR and low side-lobes, with minimum size.

They are designed to cover the frequency range of 8 to 160 GHz in several bands with
30 dBi nominal mid-band gain and a typical VSWR of 1.25. The OMT supports either
horizontal or vertical polarized signals with more than 30 dB cross-polarization rejections
and 35 dB isolation. The OMT is configured with two waveguide ports for the horizontal
and vertical polarization. Besides, custom bands and gain values can be requested.
Anteral offers LHAs with linear or circular polarization.

APPLICATIONS
Dual Polarized Lens Horn Antennas are especially useful when high gain is required
with the minimum size. Therefore, these antennas are widely used in radar applications,
communication links and meteorological systems, among others.
New cutting-edge space applications include LHA’s for MiniSat, MicroSat, NanoSat and
CubeSat communications.
