Device for receiving and/or transmitting electromagnetic radiation

An electromagnetic radiation apparatus comprising:

• an antenna element which receives electromagnetic radiation;
• a first waveguide assembly connected between said antenna element and a processing circuit by a first supply device;
• and
• a second waveguide assembly connected between said antenna element and said processing circuit by a second supply device;
• wherein said first waveguide assembly has a first conductive part configured to receive a first polarization of said electromagnetic radiation;
• and
• wherein said second waveguide assembly has a second conductive part configured to receive a second polarization of said electromagnetic radiations;
• wherein said first conductive part and said second conductive part respectively are one of coaxial outer conductors of said first supply device and said second supply device, and an elongated first ground plane and an elongated second ground plane connected to said processing circuit.

A cordless telephone comprising:

• an antenna element which receives electromagnetic radiation;
• a processing circuit which is connected to said antenna element by a first supply device and a second supply device to receive said electromagnetic radiation;
• a first conductive part configured to receive a first polarization of said electromagnetic radiation and provide said first polarization to said processing circuit;
• a second conductive part configured to receive a second polarization of said electromagnetic radiation and provide said second polarization to said processing circuit;
• and
• a housing which contains said first conductive part, said second conductive part and said processing circuit, said housing allowing reception of said electromagnetic radiation by said first conductive part and said second conductive part;
• wherein said first conductive part and said second conductive part respectively are one of coaxial outer conductors of said first supply device and said second supply device, and an elongated first ground and an elongated second ground of said processing circuit.
