Primary radiator for circularly polarized wave

摘要

A primary radiator for circularly polarized wave in accordance with the present invention is equipped with conductor projections along the inner wall of the horn antenna in order to convert linearly polarized wave to circularly polarized wave within the horn antenna, without adapting the prior art generator of circularly polarized wave. Consequently, it becomes possible to reduce the axial length and the overall size of the radiator. Moreover, the conductor projections are constructed with their edge sections on the aperture end side of the horn antenna sloping down along the inner wall of the horn antenna, so that generation of higher order modes can be suppressed and a satisfactory directivity can be obtained.
