Abstract (en)

A microwave horn antenna providing wide beam-width of approximately 95 degrees over a band width of 8 to 18GHZ. The antenna consists of a radiating cylinder (1) the front end of which is shaped to provide a central apex or ridge (6) with two faces sloping back from it. A conductor wire (5) extends to provide this ridge across the cylinder (1). Further matching wires (9, 11) extend across behind the ridge conductor (5). A choke ring (19) surrounds the radiating aperture, consisting of a plurality of concentric channels (21) of graded depth, this being one quarter wavelength at frequencies throughout the band. A wide beam, broad band antenna of high performance is thus provided.
