These include a bandwidth covering a full atmospheric window from good sites (~ 30%), low cross polarization and high beam circularity. In addition the unprecedented sensitivity required by recent proposed experiments requires large format focal plane arrays consisting of a large number of high performance feeds. While these feeds are straightforward to fabricate at microwave frequencies, the tight tolerances required in the THz region makes the realization of a large format array both expensive and time consuming. In this paper we describe feed designs that can be fabricated cheaply and rapidly without compromising the science requirements within the operating bandwidth. We present simulated and measured far-field beam patterns showing low sidelobe levels, good beam circularity and low cross-polarization levels over a fractional bandwidth of 20%. Having demonstrated the efficacy of our horn designs and fabricating technique experimentally, we have designed, fabricated and tested a prototype focal plane array of 37 hexagonally close packed horns milled in a single block of aluminum. Experimental testing of the radiation patterns of the array feeds demonstrated that they were essentially identical to the patterns of the feeds fabricated individually and that cross coupling between adjacent feeds was negligible.","PeriodicalId":247542,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125049522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
