Abstract

New X-band antenna feed assemblies with dual-polarization capability are being implemented in the DSN 64-meter stations. Together with dual X-band travelling wave masers, they permit the simultaneous reception of right- and left-hand circular polarization from the Voyager spacecraft. The new feed also includes a dual hybrid mode feedhorn which increases the antenna gain by 0.36 dB over the present feedhorn.
