A radio wave receiving converter is provided with a circular waveguide
unit to which a vertically-polarized wave and a horizontally-polarized
wave are input, first and second board holding units provided on the
upside and the downside of the circular waveguide unit and holding first
and second circuit boards, respectively, and first and second feed probes
having tip portions provided to protrude into a waveguide element in
parallel with the vertically-polarized wave and the
horizontally-polarized wave, respectively, and having proximal end
portions connected to the first and second circuit boards, respectively.
Accordingly, the first and second board holding units are provided on the
upside and the downside of the circular waveguide unit, and thus there is
no need to use a sliding insert in the design of a die, so that the die
can easily be fabricated at low cost.
