  • COMPACT CORRUGATED FEEDHORN
    Publication number: 20140266948
    Abstract: A feedhorn comprising a first section for coupling radiation from a waveguide into the feedhorn, and a second section for coupling radiation from the feedhorn into free space. The second section defines the feedhorn aperture. The first section is configured to allow excitation of HE11 and HE12 modes and suppress excitation of other higher order HE modes. The second section is configured to ensure that the HE11 and HE12 modes are in phase at the feedhorn aperture.
