  • Abstract
    The letter presents experimental results at X-band for a short backfire antenna employing a conical reflector, which is excited by a rectangular waveguide. It is shown that the use of a conical main reflector can lead to a compact antenna having a directive gain of 16.7¿18.3 dB, sidelobe level below 13.8 dB and input VSWR better than 2.5 over a 20% bandwidth from 9¿11 GHz.
