Strategy and Overview for Development of Beyond-Decade-Bandwidth Quad-ridge Flared Horns for Radio Astronomy
Paper in proceeding, 2021

This paper considers the potential of the dielectrically loaded Quad-ridge Flared Horn (QRFH) feed to provide continuous beyond-decade bandwidth in reflector telescopes for radio astronomy. An overview of the beam pattern evolution over frequency in a recent ultra-wideband feed designed for 1.5–15.5 GHz is presented.
