Design, Fabrication and Testing of a Timed-Array of TEM Horns for Beam Steering

Abstract

The objective of this study is to demonstrate one-dimensional steerability of a linear array of TEM horn antennas using the the true-time delay approach. Three TEM horns have been fabricated and tested in an array configuration. Initially the boresight radiation of a single TEM horn is measured at low-voltages and seem to be in agreement with theoretical models To demonstrate the linearity limited measurements were also performed using a 300 k V pulser with a single antenna completely immersed in oil.
