Tutorial Horn Antenna

1. An E-plane horn has dimensions of a = 0.5λ, b = 0.25λ, b1 = 2.75λ, and ρ1 = 6λ. Find
its E-plane normalized field intensity (in dB and as a voltage ratio) at an angle of θ =
90◦ using the universal curves in Appendix 2.

2. An E-plane sectoral horn has dimensions of a = 0.5λ, b = 0.25λ, b1 = 2.75λ, and ρ1 =

6λ. Compute the directivity.

3. An H-plane sectoral horn has dimensions of a = 0.5λ, b = 0.25λ, a1 = 5.5λ, and ρ2 =

6λ. Compute the directivity.

4. A pyramidal horn has dimensions of ρ1= ρ2= 6λ, a1 = 5.5λ, b1 = 2.75λ, a = 0.5λ and b
= 0.25λ .

a. Calculate the dimensions of ρe and ρh.

b. Compute the directivity.
