Abstract :
The far-field pattern and input impedance of a dipole-fed horn antenna in a ground plane are calculated using full-wave analysis. The solution is based on the numerical evaluation of the pertinent Green´s function for the horn structure and the application of the method of moments. The convergence characteristics of the full-wave analysis method are investigated, along the the resonant properties of the strip-dipole and the corresponding behavior of the far-field patterns
