The proposed design has one reflector, one ground plane (also a second reflector), one driven, and one director element. The spacing between the antenna elements has been reduced by applying the concepts of microstrip antenna, thus decreasing the antenna size along the end-fire direction significantly. The lateral dimension of the proposed antenna has been reduced by using U-shaped reflectors. The reflectors and director increase the directivity of the antenna at the lower and upper-frequency bands, respectively. Along with a compact size of ($0.52lambda_{0}times 0.22lambda_{0}times 0.009lambda_{0}$), the proposed antenna provides a bandwidth of 46.5% for $vert mathrm{S}_{11}vert < - 10 text{dB}$. A peak gain of 6 dBi with minimal variations (∼1 dB) is also achieved over the bandwidth.

In this communication, a novel multilayer H-plane sectoral horn antenna has been introduced for Ka-Band application with few attractive radiation characteristics like less beam-width in both principle plane, high gain, wide-bandwidth while maintaining low profile.
