Abstract :
In this paper, a horn antenna and FSS unit are designed separately. A planar radome composed by this FSS unit is placed in the near-field region of the horn, forming an antenna/radome system, to reduce the RCS of the horn. The radiation and scattering properties are calculated to study the effect of a finite FSS radome on the horn antenna.
