| description | The broadband requirement in microwave systems has necessitated attention on components that can
operate over frequency ranges far broader than those of standard rectangular waveguides. This paper
describes the design and development of an ridged horn to match the waveguide impedance to freespace
impedance so that the horn could be used as a feed for an offset-fed parabolic reflector over a wide
band of frequencies, i.e., C and X bands (4.2 to 10.2 GHZ). In the present case, a five stepped chebyshev
transformer has been used. Complete design required for horn feed as well for the ridged waveguide
components necessary for testing has been carried out. The results obtained are quite encouraging.
Good agreement is found between the measured results and theoretical values. |
