Abstract :
Results of numerical optimization of electrical characteristics and geometry of ultra wideband double ridged horn antennas are presented. End-fire radiation patterns with side lobe level less than -10 dB and VSWR<;2.0 over the frequency range 1-20 GHz at the compact prototype of the optimized antenna manufactured have been obtained.
