Disclosed is a shaped horn in conjunction with a dielectric tube for enhanced aperture directivity that can achieve a near optimum efficiency. The shaped horn provides additional mode control to provide an improved off-axis cross-polarization response. The horn shape can be individually optimized for isolated horns or for horns in a feed array. The feed array environment can produce results that lead to a different optimized shape than the isolated horn. Lower off axis cross-polarization can result in improved efficiency and susceptibility to interference.

A polarizing screen includes an arrangement of at least one, electrically conductive, polarizing cell, which at least one cell is frequency- and polarization-selective, for transforming the polarization of the electric component E of the transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave, received with linear polarization, into an electromagnetic wave with circular polarization.

Each polarizing cell includes electrically conductive interconnection rods which interconnect the lateral walls and the four angled plates so that they are partially or completely rigidly connected and which form one or more electrical discontinuities, which are arranged at the ends of or inside the section of waveguide forming the polarizing cell and form one or more inductive or capacitive loads, or one or more (LC) resonators equivalent to an inductor and a capacitor connected in parallel or in series. The longitudinally open slots of the lateral walls and the elementary electrical discontinuities of each polarizing cell include geometric shapes and dimensions which provide total transmission of the incident wave, which is associated with a phase anisotropy of +90 or 90 according to the components E.sub.V and E.sub.H.
