Abstract

Extremely low sidelobe horn antennas are often required for the actual technology. This type of horn antennas are important to avoid interference with other systems. In this paper we describe a new design implementing a radical change in the current technology. It consists in attaching together a choked-waveguide antenna with a classical pure gaussian output corrugated horn. A really impressive radiation pattern with very low sidelobes and crosspolar levels in a very short antenna is obtained. This antenna shape was firstly presented in [1]. In this paper an improvement in size, weight, bandwidth and crosspolar level of the design is shown. This improvement has been possible due to the optimisation of the profile by means of the use of a mode matching code (mwave Wizard) instead of a time consuming finite element code.
