La mejora de la polarización cruzada genera una distribución de un campo altamente simétrico en la apertura de una antena, sin embargo, es difícil hacer fuentes circulares de baja polarización cruzada que operen en un ancho de banda amplio. En este artículo se presenta un caso de estudio para mejorar la polarización cruzada de una apertura circular. Como la guía de onda circular tiene una polarización cruzada pobre, se han considerado tres soluciones posibles para mejorar la polarización cruzada, que ha sido presentada en trabajos anteriores. La primera solución se basa en un disco metálico que, después de un proceso de optimización, se obtiene un diámetro externo optimizado de 90.42 mm. La segunda solución se basa en un anillo metálico alrededor de la guía de onda circular, la dimensión optimizada del anillo de diámetro externo es de 90.42 mm con un grosor de 1.63 mm. La tercera solución se basa en dos anillos alrededor de la guía de onda circular, cuyas dimensiones optimizadas son un diámetro exterior de 122.48 mm y un diámetro interno de 90.42 mm. El conocimiento obtenido es valioso para explicar la mejora del nivel de adaptación de una antena de parche con un anillo de alrededor a 5.8 GHz.]]></p></abstract>

The improve of the cross polarization generates a distribution of a highly symmetric field in the aperture of the antenna, however, it is difficult to make low cross polarization circular sources to operate over a wide bandwidth. In this paper, a study case is presented to improve the cross polarization of a circular aperture. As the circular waveguide has a poor cross polarization, three possible solutions have been considered to improve the cross polarization in previous works. The first solution is based on a metallic disk, which after an optimization process obtains an external diameter of 90.42mm. The second solution is based on a metallic ring around the circular waveguide, the optimized dimension of the external diameter ring is 90.42mm with a thickness of 1.63mm. The third solution is based on two rings around the circular waveguide, which optimized dimensions of the rings are an outer diameter of 122.48mm, and an inner diameter of 90.42mm. This knowledge is valuable to explain the improvement of matching level of a patch antenna with a ring around 5.8 GHz.]]></p></abstract>
