OK, so that H section is helping with the 22.5 degree twist. Makes sense.

Vertical position of WG indicates Horizontal polarization, Horizontal position of WG indicates Vertical polarization." coupled with the assumption waveguide slots have to align, which is wrong they do sit like 22.5 degrees or something perpendicularish It shows it right there in their pictures Even explains it This is like the third time on this link where words didnt register in my head. Im pretty sure at this point Im on SAFs "Fuck that Guy" list On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at 4:21 PM, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: That is all out the window now, a V can self identify as H and heck even circular if they want to. You cannot even refer to them as V and H anymore. It is a brave new world.

I found the issue (my lack of knowlege) This sticker mismatch caused me to send an email, the response to which i misinterpreted. It all went downhill from there. I always assume in life that holes of an identical shape align to that shape, something about pegs and holes growing up On Feb 21, 2018 3:23 PM, "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> wrote: The T stem part of this device has circular waveguide with both V&H in it at the same time. Where the two rectangular waveguides come together, there is a cattle sorting chute, shoving all the steers one way and all the heifers the other way. So the waveguide marked with the V has V polarized signals coming and going to and from the antenna. The waveguide marked with the H has H polarized signals coming and going to and from the antenna. Both those waveguides are exactly the same, just performing the same function as a piece of coax. Think of them as being N connectors. One N connector with the V signal and one N connector with the H signal.

It this just standard stuff i should defaultly understand? This is the first time ive ever seen an OMT in person, but it seems something is off or im making things to complicated, either are equal candidates.

I know the underlying issue probably has to do with why integra WS is not advertised as a 2+0 system. There are no alignment markers or pins between the radio interface and the OMT interface. Im assuming when aligning waveguide slots you have very little marging for error. Attached are the radio and omt interface, and the omt antenna interface, the alignment pins are pointed out with screwdrivers, there are no pins for the radio side and theyre threaded holes that dont look like they would align. Anybody have advice on making sure these line up. Or is there a margin allowed. We had to give up our power margin on this link to get approval because the pcn was contested, i dont have any spare dbs to give
