  • Abstract
    The measured radiation pattern of a dielectric sphere fed from a conical horn loaded with a concentric dielectric cylinder is given. The matching arrangement of a double taper leads to multimode excitation. Pattern symmetry in the principal planes and a -10-dB reduction in cross-polar levels are demonstrated.
