            Abstract : 
The radiation patterns of pyramidal dielectric waveguides excited by pyramidal metallic horns are predicted and compared with patterns measured at 9 GHz. Satisfactory agreement is obtained, especially in the region of the main beam. At wide angles, the pattern corresponds quite closely to that of the launcher alone.
