Horn Antenna with Coaxial Pin Feed =================================== * A pyramidal horn antenna fed by a coaxial probe (pin) inside the rectangular feed waveguide, terminated by a quarter-wave back-short instead of a waveguide port. Introduction ------------- **This tutorial covers:** * Setup of a pyramidal horn antenna with a closed rectangular feed waveguide * A coaxial pin feed modelled as a lumped port, exciting the TE10 waveguide mode * A quarter guided-wavelength back-short instead of a waveguide port or PML termination * Calculate the S-Parameter and input impedance * Calculate the far-field pattern, directivity and aperture efficiency via NF2FF Python Script ------------- Get the latest version `from git `_. .. include:: ./__Horn_Antenna.txt Images ------------- .. figure:: images/Horn_Ant.png :width: 80% :alt: 3D view of the horn antenna 3D view of the Horn Antenna with coaxial pin feed (AppCSXCAD) .. figure:: images/Horn_Ant_SPara.png :width: 80% :alt: S-Parameter S-Parameter of the horn antenna .. figure:: images/Horn_Ant_Pattern.png :width: 80% :alt: Farfield pattern Farfield pattern on an E- and H-plane
