Asymmetrical biconical horn antenna

摘要

An improved biconical horn antenna having a broad azimuthal beamwidth and an asymmetrical elevation beam pattern. The antenna comprises two conical sections mounted against a grounded backplane with the tapered ends of the sections facing each other. The sections are of unequal size and have curved edges. The antenna is fed by a rectangular waveguide passing through the backplane between the tapered ends of the sections.
