Abstract

In this paper, CST-MS was used to model and simulate an Ultra wideband TEM horn antenna using an UWB feeding mechanism. Model views are shown and the results of frequency domain simulation up to 5 GHz are plotted for the UWB TEM horn antenna. The feed and the TEM horn were simulated for various characteristics like frequency domain reflections, VSWR, insertion loss, radiation pattern and gain etc. The half power beamwidth and antenna factor of the antenna were also calculated. The antenna is wideband, non dispersive, directive and has low VSWR.
