1. An ortho-mode transducer comprising:

  • a common waveguide terminating in a common port;

    a horizontal branch waveguide terminating in a horizontal port, the horizontal branch waveguide configured to couple a first linearly polarized mode from the horizontal port to the common waveguide, the horizontal branch waveguide comprising;

    a first ridged waveguide segment terminating in the horizontal port, anda second ridged waveguide segment coupling the first ridged waveguide segment to the common waveguide; and

    a vertical branch waveguide terminating in a vertical port opposed to the horizontal port, the vertical branch waveguide configured to couple a second linearly polarized mode from the vertical port to the common waveguide, the second linearly polarized mode orthogonal to the first linearly polarized mode.
