Abstract :
The corrugated conical horn is considered to be an ideal feed for low sidelobe reflector antennas because of its unique characteristics. Analysis is carried out to show that low flare horns are preferred over high flare horns to give rise to low sidelobe performance for a given offset reflector antenna system.
