Abstract :
A new type of antenna based on a slotline feed structure, a bowtie horn and a rolled edge termination has been developed. An approximate method of analysing the radiation pattern of this antenna is presented by using hybrid modal expansion. It uses much less time and is more convenient. It is found that the calculated radiation pattern over the whole frequency range agrees with the measured data very well.
