Abstract :
An experimental reflector antenna using a hybrid orthogonal TEM (transverse electromagnetic) feed concept is described. The new TEM feeding arrangement extends the operating frequency bandwidth by allowing the reflector antenna to operate efficiently at lower frequencies. The radiation characteristics were examined over a 10:1 bandwidth. The design is straightforward to implement, and it has great potential for high-power applications since the antenna structure can be completely fabricated from metal, without the need for loads or terminations.<>
