Multi-port multi-band transceiver interface assembly

A waveguide device comprising:

• an input waveguide aligned along a first axis and configured to carry a first band signal having first and second polarities and a second band signal having first and second polarities, the first band signal being discharged through an output which is coaxial with the input waveguide, the input waveguide for coaxial alignment with a feed horn;
• an output waveguide for supporting and discharging the second band signal, the output waveguide extending along a second axis which is parallel to the first axis containing the input waveguide but displaced therefrom;
• and
• first, second, third and fourth waveguides connecting the input waveguide to the output waveguide, the first and third waveguides supporting the first polarity of the second signal, the second and fourth waveguides supporting the second polarity of the second signal, each of the waveguides being disposed substantially perpendicular to the input and output waveguides such that the second band signal is fed into the input waveguide and then separated therefrom by being carried within a first plane, defined by sections of the first, second, third, and fourth waveguides, before being discharged through the output waveguide.
