Antenna system for double polarization in two high frequency bands of different frequency positions includes a orthomode transducer, in the following text called polarization filter having an antenna end terminal and two directional terminals, one being for right circular polarized waves, and the other being for left circular polarized waves. These directional terminals connect, respectively, with two frequency filters which separate the signals into the lower of the two high frequency bands, and the higher of the two high frequency bands. There are two 3-dB 90.degree. directional couplers, one of which handles right and left circular polarized signals of the lower frequency band, and the other of which handles right and left circular polarized signals of the higher frequency band. The polarization filter is constructed to be phase-symmetrical with respect to its transit paths. The directional terminals of the polarization filter are connected directly to the frequency filters, respectively, or through two structurally symmetrical 45.degree. twisted components of different twisting directions. The connection lines between the frequency filters and the directional couplers in each case for the two frequency bands occupy dual polarization directions of the same frequency range. These are phase-symmetrical pairs of lines with connection elements which match one another in pairs at the same point of the line.
Antenna feed system for double polarization in two high-frequency bands of different frequency position, consisting of a polarization shunt with a connecting flange in common on the antenna side for both frequency bands and two directional connections respectively allocated to one polarization direction for a respective frequency shunt whose connection in common for said two frequency bands is respectively connected to one of said directional connections of said polarization shunt, consisting of a first three decibel directional coupler for the lower frequency band whose double axis is respectively connected to one further connection of both frequency shunts allocated to the lower frequency band, and consisting of a three decibel directional coupler for said upper frequency band which is respectively connected to one further connection of the frequency shunts allocated to said upper frequency band, characterized in that the polarization shunt is constructed phase-symmetrical with respect to its pass-through paths, in that the directional connections of said polarization shunt are connected directly to the frequency shunts or respectively are connected via two 45.degree. twisted pieces of different twisting direction which are precisely constructionally symmetrical, and in that the connecting lines between said frequency shunts and said three decibel directional couplers for respectively two frequency bands of the same frequency ranges, said frequency bands existing in dual polarization directions, are constructed at the respectively same line location as phase-symmetrical line pairs with connection elements which coincide by pairs.
