Abstract :
The performance of a TEM horn with hybrid elliptic functions describing the plate width an plate separation is enhanced by the inclusion of a pair of internal fins. The inclusion of the fins provides further control over the H-plane radiation pattern, enabling the horn to perform beyond 42 GHz.
