Conical Quad-Mode Antenna With Integrated Tapered Slot Antennas For Wide-Field Polarimetry
Paper in proceeding, 2015
A technique is proposed to synthesize the ridge taper of a quadruple-ridged flared horn (QRFH) antenna. By considering the modal propagation in the horn it is possible to improve the antenna performance. A QRFH is designed for an off-set Gregorian system and produces an average aperture efficiency of 55% over a 6:1 bandwidth.
