Abstract

See full text

An optimized feedhorn comprising a circular waveguide having a corrugated plate disposed around the outside of the aperture of the waveguide wherein the corrugations of the plate are capacitive as to E plane signals. The feedhorn includes a reduced aperture diameter which selectively protrudes beyond the plane of the corrugated plate. The amount of protrusion of the aperture is determined to approximately equalize E and H plane beamwidths and selectively shape the top and skirts of the signal pattern around the center frequency of interest.
