The Performance of the Square and Conical Corrugated Horns as Monopulse Feeds in the Millimetric Band

Abstract

A theoritical and a practical study of both of horns have been made to show their performance in the millimetric band. A conical corrugated horn terminating a circular corrugated waveguide, which can support the tracking modes, was constructed. Also a square corrugated horn terminating four waveguides was studied and constructed. A comparison between the theoritical and the practical results, also between the performance of both types of horns as monopulse feeds, has been made.
