Abstract
The calculation of phase centers for rectangular and diagonal horns is presented. The calculation is based on a vector approach, by deriving the phase center from the expressions for the far field. Different expressions are derived for the phase center of the 
and 
planes. The phase center for an arbitrary plane is calculated from the 
and -plane phase centers. Graphs are presented showing the dependence of the phase centers on horn dimensions.
