A multi-mode, multi-step feed horn (10) for a satellite antenna array that includes multiple transition steps (28-34) that provide control of the mode content of the signal, and the generation of substantially equal E-plane arid H-plane beamwidths, with low cross-polarization and suppressed sidelobes. In one particular embodiment, two transition steps (32, 34) allow the E-plane to expand and generate the higher order TM11 propagation mode. The transition steps (32, 34) and a phase section (18) allow the mode content to be oriented relative to each other in the proper phase so that the useful bandwidth is on the order of 10%-15%. Two other transition steps (28, 30) provide impedance matching between a throat section (12) and the mode content transition steps (32, 34) to prevent or minimize reflections.
