  • Abstract
    Design procedures based on extensive theoretical and experimental investigations are given for hybrid-mode corrugated conical horns having near-constant beamwidth, low cross-polarized sidelobes and low reflection for continuous bandwidths up to 2.1:1. The design techniques are applicable for horn flare semi-angles to about 30\\deg , which includes most feed horns in dual-reflector antennas.
