Abstract

In this paper, design and fabrication of a circular horn antenna is presented. The antenna is designed for experimental use at Ka band. The design process includes feeding structure for coaxial line and geometrical parameters of the antenna. The bandwidth of the antenna is measured as 2.25GHz, (S 11 ≤-10dB) which satisfies the requirements of targeted experimental study. A reference monopole is also designed for the measurements of antenna parameters. Antenna radiation pattern is measured with the reference monopole antenna using a VNA (S12) instead of typical signal generator/spectrum analyzer pair. Accuracy of antenna parameters along with the errors made in fabrication process is also discussed in the paper. © 2012 IEEE.
