Abstract

A hybrid technique for the analysis of horn antennas is described based on a rigorous description of the horn aperture-free space discontinuity. The transition from the feeding waveguide to the radiating aperture is analyzed by using the mode matching technique (MMT) employing a stepped-waveguide approach. The discontinuity between the horn aperture and the free space is modeled by combining the method of auxiliary sources with the MMT for the stepped waveguide section. Results for the input standing wave ratio are given and compared with the available measurements, which demonstrate the very good performance of the method
