Abstract
In this paper at first, the ordinary septum polarizer has been designed and used for parabolic reflector feed in Ground station antenna. Next, a novel design of modified septum polarizer with wider beam-width is proposed for satellite antenna. Compactness, low weight, large bandwidth, high TX/RX isolation, low axial ratio as well as low loss are the advantages of the septum polarizer. The designed antenna has high purity circular polarization (
