Strip horn for operation at 9–15GHz range

Abstract

The paper presents the computer simulation and the measurement results of the realized strip horn antenna intended for operation at 9–15 GHz range. The antenna is fabricated with 20 mm wide and 1 mm thick aluminum strips. The arms of the horn are 60 mm long while the aperture angle is 60. The excitation is performed through the SMA connector pin which is placed at the quarter wavelength distance from the short-circuited strip.
