Integrated Waveguide Transceiver

An antenna system comprising:

• a polarizer configured to attach to a feed horn at a first end of said polarizer;
• an integrated transceiver having a transceiver housing, wherein said integrated transceiver is configured to attach to a second end of said polarizer;
• a first portion of a waveguide of an integrated waveguide assembly, wherein said first portion at least partially forms said transceiver housing, and wherein said first portion does not individually form said waveguide;
• and
• a second portion of said waveguide of said integrated waveguide assembly configured to couple with said first portion of said integrated waveguide assembly to form said integrated waveguide assembly.

A method for integrating a waveguide within a transceiver housing, said method comprising:

• forming a first waveguide portion in an inner surface of said transceiver housing;
• forming a second waveguide portion in a sub-floor component, wherein said second waveguide portion is complementary to said first waveguide portion;
• and
• assembling said sub-floor component and said transceiver housing so that said first waveguide portion and said second waveguide portion are coupled and form said waveguide.
