Abstract :
A pyramidal-horn design is presented. Two distinct design cases are considered. The first one uses the half-power beamwidth in the two principal planes as a constraint, while the second uses the ratio of the half-power beamwidths and the directivity of the horn. A number of approximate expressions make the procedure simple. Some characteristic examples show the applicability of the method
