Abstract
This article, the second in a series discussing a new prototype X-S band horn feed for future use at various DSN sites, deals with the combiner which was designed and fabricated for injecting X- and S-band into the horn. It also discusses predicted performance at DSS 13 by the calculated scattering of the model radiation patterns from the DSS 13 hyperbola. The results indicate that the present version of the S-band combiner is much too narrow for use in both receiving and transmitting and that the horn patterns, when scattered, yield an improved efficiency over the present horn-hyperbola system.
