Thanks for your effort to explain this antenne working.I have just bought one to give it a shot and hope that yours was just a unluck one from the factory as it will my luck maybe as well.
I have use a oplong shape flat panel 30x 40 cm and found this difficult to set up year ago ,but will give this a go and see if I get this working on our Optus D 1 above new zealand ,

Interesting post. These fat antenna in the picture was designed for the ZhongXing-9A Direct-To-Home Satellite. if you look the paper 327940475 A Circularly Polarized Circular Antenna Array for Satellite TV Reception, can find a more details of the design. Other more general article but in chinese it is in edatop(dot)com/antenna/80675(dot)html . I Hope it be useful.

Ah. I was expecting a complex branching power combiner. I guess just doing it in a resonant cavity makes a lot of sense. Neat!
