Therefore, the coupling between each antenna 42 i and the branch 54 i for the system 40 of the Figure 2 , which is to be carried out on the frequency band ⁇ B i , can, advantageously, be more efficient than the coupling between the antenna 15 and the waveguide 20 for the system 5 of the Figure 2 which is to be carried out on the wider ⁇ B frequency band.
