I. Introduction
Circularly polarized (CP) antennas are frequently used to increase robustness against fading and polarization misalignment that can affect linearly polarized (LP) antennas. Waveguide polarizers are most suited for use with aperture antennas, and can be separated into two-port and three-port varieties. Two-port waveguide polarizers using irises [1] or dielectric septa [2] have the advantage of single input and output ports, however the polarizer performance is highly dependent on the load of the circularly polarized port and the two should be optimized together. Three-port devices such as waveguide septum polarizers [3]–[6] have the advantages of: generating both senses of CP; and less susceptibility to the load that is placed on the CP port compared to two-port devices.
