Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022160290A1] Provided in the present application are a communication apparatus and a communication method, which are applied to a microwave transmission system. The communication apparatus comprises a first orthogonal unit, a second orthogonal unit and a rotation unit, wherein a first end of the rotation unit is connected to the first orthogonal unit; a second end of the rotation unit is connected to the second orthogonal unit; the rotation unit is used for making the first orthogonal unit and/or the second orthogonal unit rotate in a first direction; and the first direction is a signal transmission direction between the first end and the second end of the rotation unit. A coupling amount of the communication apparatus can be adjusted by means of the rotation unit controlling the relative rotation included angle between the first orthogonal unit and the second orthogonal unit, the adjustment means is simple and easy to operate, materials of balanced-type specifications and unbalanced-type specifications in the communication apparatus are normalized, and the coupling amount of the communication apparatus is independent of frequency, such that the flatness of the coupling amount of the communication apparatus in a channel is greatly improved.
