A ground station antenna includes a LNB with at least one dipole, a feed horn, a waveguide between the LNB and the feed horn, and a rotation mechanism. By rotating a portion of the waveguide, the polarization of an electromagnetic wave propagating between the LNB and a satellite is transformed to match the polarization to (one of) the dipole(s) and to an antenna on the satellite. Another ground station antenna includes a main waveguide, two mutually orthogonal branch waveguides, a coupling mechanism for coupling two orthogonal antenna dipoles to the proximal end of the waveguide, and a transformation mechanism that transforms the polarization of an electromagnetic wave propagating between the branch waveguides and a satellite via the antenna dipoles to match the polarization to one of the branch waveguides and to an antenna on the satellite.
