Summary:
Wideband dual polarized probes are often used in modern high precision measurement systems. A desired feature of a good probe is that the useable bandwidth should exceed that of the antenna under test so that probe mounting and alignment is performed only once during a measurement campaign [1]. This paper describes a new field probe taking full advantage of the 1: 4 bandwidth of the Ortho Mode Junction (OMJ) overcoming the aperture size problem by applying different apertures on the same field probe.
