New approach to the design of corrugated horn antennas
(1997) Gonzalo García, Ramón; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this paper, we present two new corrugated horn antenna designs in circular waveguide. The first one is a converter horn antenna from monomode circular waveguide TE11 to corrugated waveguide HE11 mode in a very efficient way. The conversion efficiency varies between 98 % and 99%. The HE11 mode has highly desired radiation pattern characteristics for applications like satellite communications, radar, remote- sensing, etc, nevertheless, when the requirements are more stringent this mode is not good enough and we must look for other solution. This one corresponds to the fundamental gaussian beam, which has outstanding features, such as being a free space mode, having high matching efficiency with a reflector, no sidelobes, perfect symmetry, etc. The second horn antenna presented generates very efficient fundamental gaussian beams at the output (99%-99.9%). It is important to say that the input must look like a gaussian beam, an HE11 for instance, which presents a 98.4% of gaussian beam or similar. We also show a new design in which we are working now, consisting in the junction of the two aforementioned designs. They form an unique horn antenna that results in the TE11 mode, from the fundamental gaussian beam mode. These components have been analysed using the Mode Matching and the Generalised Scattering Matrix techniques and the Moment Method as well as the equations in [1] to get the far field radiation pattern. Our results have been checked against those obtained by other authors.

Measurements of a new gaussian profile corrugated horn antenna for millimeter wave applications
(IEEE, 1998) Gonzalo García, Ramón; Martí Canales, J.; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
The measurements results of a new design of corrugated horn antennas [1, 2, 3] following the gaussian expansion are presented in this paper. The performance of two corrugated horn antennas of this kind was verified in the ESTEC Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) [4]. Very high agreement between measured and predicted results is found.

Alimentadores gaussianos en guía de onda rectangular
(1999) Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
A new and efficient design of a rectangular corrugated waveguide mode converter, from TE10 mode in a smooth rectangular monomode waveguide to HE11 mode in a corrugated rectangular waveguide, is proposed. The main idea is the application of Gaussian design techniques, described in the given references, previously applied in circular waveguides. By using these techniques compact and very efficient components are obtained. The obtained far field pattern is rather good as illuminator of square or rectangular parabolic reflectors, with very low sidelobes and crosspolarisation levels, avoiding the use of a rectangular to circular waveguide converter.

Generación del modo HE11 a partir de una guía circular lisa monomodo
(1996) Gonzalo García, Ramón; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this paper, we present an original taper design to obtain the HE11 corrugated circular waveguide mode exciting with a pure TE11 monomode smooth circular waveguide mode. The proposed corrugated taper has a longitudinal section composed of two hyperbolic profiles in series, one concave and the other convex united at a point, such that the derivative is continuous. Superimposed there is an additional tapering of the corrugation depth that goes from l/2 at taper input to l/4 within the first hyperbola. This original synthesis procedure has been successfully tested by computational simulation. The calculation method has been validated by experimental results of other authors.

Simulations by using the HP’s Finite Element code HFSS shown very promising results.

Diseño óptimo de antenas de bocina multimodo para excitar un haz gaussiano fundamental de alta pureza
(1996) Gonzalo García, Ramón; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this paper, we present an original and optimal multimode horn antenna design to excite the fundamental Gaussian beam from an overmoded waveguide. In particular, we focus the study in overmoded circular corrugated waveguide. The main idea to design this multimode horn antenna, is to increase the waveguide radius as the desired gaussian mode expands. This principle has also been applied to smooth circular waveguides to excite higher order Gaussian beams from TE0n modes. The horn antenna design considered here, improves the gaussian conversion efficiency, the crosspolarisation and the sidelobes level of some good mixture ( aprox. 85% of TE11 and 15% of TM11 ).

On the determination of the phase center of gaussian horn antennas
(1998) Río Bocio, Carlos del; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Gonzalo García, Ramón; Sorolla Ayza, Mario; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
Gaussian horn antenna designs have experimentally demonstrated excellent performance to produce a very pure Gaussian beam mode with extremely low sidelobes and crosspolarization levels. These results make very attractive these antennas for high performance applications as satellite communications, radar and remote sensing. The particular position of the phase center inside the horn antenna is crucial in the subsequent process to design the mirror system to be illuminated by the antenna. The Gaussian horn antennas, because the feature to excite a Gaussian beam modes, have the phase center close to the horn throat instead of the output horn aperture as usual. This feature is particular of Gaussian horn antennas, and it supposes a change in the design process using these antennas. The mathematical determination, by correlation of the output fields with Gaussian structures, and the numerical demonstration, will be showed in this paper. Also, some considerations of the advantages or disadvantages of this property will be commented.

Very short and efficient feeder design from monomode waveguide
(IEEE, 1997) Gonzalo García, Ramón; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In this paper, we present an original and short corrugated horn antenna profile to obtain the HE11 corrugated circular waveguide mode exciting with a pure TE11 monomode smooth circular waveguide mode. We will obtain a far field pattern with a very low crosspolarization, high symmetry and very low sidelobes in a wide frequency band. The proposed corrugated antenna has a longitudinal section composed of two hyperbolic profiles in series, one concave and the other convex united at a point, such that the derivative is continuous. Superimposed there is an additional tapering of the corrugation depth that goes from λ/2 at taper input to λ/4 within the first hyperbola. This original synthesis procedure has been successfully tested by computational simulation. The calculation method has been validated with experimental results of other authors.

Gaussian profiled horn antennas
(1999) Gonzalo García, Ramón; Teniente Vallinas, Jorge; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
In many different applications parameters such efficiency, gain, directivity, etc., are really critical. By using the Gaussian techniques presented here, the radiating features of existing horn antenna systems can be improved, only by adding some portion of Gaussian horn antenna at the end or designing a new horn antenna system. In this paper some special features of the Gaussian profiled horn antennas are presented. Furthermore, different design methods based on the Gaussian techniques are analyzed, describing the advantages of these methods versus the existing methods. Some practical examples, comparisons and measurements are also given.
