Development of Twelve-Horn Monopulse Antenna Irradiator for Aperture Antenna

Abstract

The results of development and research of a twelve-horn monopulse antenna irradiator for receiving-transmitting operating with the waves of circular polarization aperture antenna are presented. Scheme and main advantages of the developed construction are described. Comparison of experimental directional patterns of Ka-band aperture antenna with models of four-horn and twelve-horn monopulse irradiators is presented.
