I've been meaning to setup some antennas for satellite operation for awhile here. And since I will probably end up doing it this fall/winder I had a question I was wondering about, before I get the antennas completely built connected up.
I plan on using a circular polarized antenna, for lhcr and rhcr. Since this setup has two coax that your switch a 1/4wave (if I remember right) to either side to create the two rotations in the antenna.
Is there a way I can modify this to feed two radios? so one radio would receive lhcr, and the other rhcr? Or would I be forced to use two antennas to do this?
The only idea I have is to use a signal splitter on each of the two antenna halfs before joining them, then join each of those splits into the cr parts. But I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this without as much loss, or if this might cause a backfeed that would defeat the me from getting any signal at all.
Maybe there is a good writeup of this on the web somewhere, but I have no clue what the proper terms to google it are, and haven't had any luck.
Thanks.
