Description:
Corrugated horns use corrugations on the E-plane walls that are operating in the cutoff condition. In this paper, attention is focused on replacing the rectangular shaped corrugation with a V-shaped corrugation. The properties of the V corrugations are obtained using an integral equation solution; the results of the computational studies indicate that for operation of the V corrugations in the forbidden zone the depth of the corrugations lie between 0.3125 to 0.625 times the wavelength in contrast to the rectangular corrugations where the corresponding depth is 0.25 to 0.5 times the wavelength. The radiation patterns and impedance of two identical rectangular horns with corrugated E-plane walls using either V or rectangular corrugations are directly compared.
