Abstract :
This paper discusses the design of ultra wideband TEM horns that make use of an elliptic plate separation profile in addition to an impedance taper. The nature of radiation form the horns is investigated, and based on the insight gained, the initial design is modified to improve performance. Bandwidth ratios of up to 25:1 are predicted.
