Abstract :
In this paper, high technology optimized feedhorn designs are presented. These feedhorns have been designed to improve the quite zone size and behaviour at the Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) of the Antenna Research Team (OSA) from Limoges University XLIM laboratory. Very nice results are obtained maintaining the quite zone at its maximum size over the whole frequency range. The designed feedhorns present low crosspolar levels, high phase centre stability and they are very simple and small, resulting in a very low manufacturing cost.
