“…In a relatively new technique, walls of the horn are designed to fit specific curves to produce the required modal content on the aperture which has a low cross‐polarization . These horns are called smooth‐wall profile horns and design procedure of them usually includes the use of optimization algorithms along with the numerical simulations to evaluate the antenna performance in each step of the optimization.…”

In this article, a new method for exciting the TM11 mode to symmetrize the radiation pattern and reduce the cross‐polarization level of the conical horn antennas is presented. The main idea of this paper is to excite TM11 mode with a frequency‐dependent phase difference relative to the TE11 mode in a manner that these modes appear in phase on the radiation aperture of the antenna in the desired frequency range of 8‐8.4 GHz. Finally, the performance of the TM11 exciter and horn antenna together were simulated and after reaching the predefined goals they were fabricated.

“…Several investigators [1–7] have developed different types of dual-band horn for diverse applications. Cowan [1] has developed dual-band circular feed horn with two peripheral chokes for front-fed reflectors having F / D ratios in the range 0.3–0.4 at 11.6/14.2 GHz.…”

“…Chan and Rao [6] investigated a dual-band multi-sloped horn at 19.3/29.2 GHz operating with only TE 1 n modes. Granet and James [7] examined a spline-profiled smooth-walled Horn for dual-band at 4/6 GHz for shaped Cassegrain antenna.…”

This paper reports a new compact dual-band axially corrugated profiled horn feed (DBCPH) for prime-focus reflector antenna at C-band (uplink and downlink frequency bands with bandwidth ratio of 1.6). DBPCH consists of one sinusoid profiled section and two internal axial corrugations (internal short-circuited ring slots), for obtaining a multimode horn feed. Such a blended structure is optimized over the specified frequency bands (3.68-3.70 and 5.865-5.915 GHz) to achieve various performance objectives (such as compactness, return loss, polarization purity, etc.). Measured and predicted results show that DBCPH provides better return loss .18.6 dB, low cross-polarization (better than 232 dB), and adequate edge taper at +488 (8.5-11.7 dB) along with compact size (1.3l aperture diameter and 0.88l length at lower frequency). The horn would be used as a feed element for front-fed prime-focus reflector for pencil beam spacecraft antenna application.

“…However, the cost of manufacturing the corrugated horn itself is quite high. Based on our recent experience of smooth-walled spline-profile horns [2,3], we investigated the possibility of this type of low-cost horn replacing the corrugated horn in [1]. We note that a smooth-walled spline-profile Ka-band horn was designed in [4,5] explicitly to cover the 19.7-20.2 GHz and 29.5-30.0 GHz frequency bands.…”

As an alternative to the corrugated horn, a low‐cost smooth‐walled spline‐profile horn has been designed to cover the complete Ka‐band satellite bands. This new horn is used as a feed in a typical dual‐reflector antenna to demonstrate the overall antenna system meets the usual performance requirements. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
