ANTENNA LOBE SUPPRESSION. VOLUME IV. THE H-PLANE RADIATION PATTERN OF HORN ANTENNAS

Abstract

Diffraction theory is used to formulate the H-plane radiation pattern of a horn antenna. Excellent agreement between computed and measured patterns is achieved by considering contributions from both the principal H-plane and E- edge diffractions. The pattern is computed by superposition of various diffracted rays which are described by wedge diffraction. This technique is demonstrated to be a accurate and practical without employing aperture integration techniques.
