- Title
A MULTI-OCTAVE, OPEN - BOUNDARY, QUAD-RIDGE HORN ANTENNA FOR USE IN THE S- TO KU-BANDS.

- Abstract
This article introduces a new antenna design to be used in anechoic chambers as a source antenna for 3D pattern measurements. When measuring 3D patterns, the receiving antenna in the anechoic chamber must be able to sense the two orthogonal components of the field that exist in the far field. This can be accomplished by mechanically rotating the source horn in the chamber. A better and faster approach is to use a dual-polarized antenna and electronically switch between polarizations. This new design is a broadband, ridged-guide horn (2 to 18 GHz) antenna with dual polarization.
