U-band hybrid corrugated horn: An alternative to the conventional radial corrugated horns

Profiled Horn Antenna with Wideband Capability Targeting Sub-THz Applications

“…However, due to a complex mode-converter structure, the radial corrugated horn design becomes challenging especially at millimeter and submillimeter waves [9] and terahertz frequencies [10]. Some of the alternative solutions are axial corrugated horn [11,12], hybrid corrugated horn [13,14], spline profiled horn [9,15], and horn antennas designed using interpolation [16]. All such configurations have their merits and drawbacks in terms of performance, fabrication complexity, cost, computational effort, etc.…”

Improving the Performance of Profiled Conical Horn Using Polynomial Interpolation and Targeting the Region of Interest

“…In last decades, researchers have put significant efforts and proposed variety of horn geometries for many practical applications [3]. A few important examples are Potter horn [4], matched-feed horn [5,6], corrugated horn [7], ridged horn [8], hybrid corrugated horn [9,10], dielectric horn [11,12], metamaterial based horn [13], Gaussian profiled horn [14], spline profiled horn [15], etc. All such horn configurations have their merits and demerits in terms of performance, fabrication complexity, cost, etc.…”
