Abstract :
Horn antennas for radiating uniformly in a plane are described. The propagation of waves in the biconical-shaped horn, and their radiation from it, are treated analytically. An experimental investigation at a wavelength of 8.3 centimeters shows the detailed behavior of this unique horn, which should find applications to services employing "broadcast" radiation at ultra-high frequencies.
