Gain Horn Antennas

Gain horn antennas are used for the transmission and reception of microwave signals. They are more sophisticated versions of the antennas used for high-frequency applications such as spacecraft and radio astronomy. They are also used feed other types of antennas. Gain horn antennas can operate effectively with a dielectric coating. Feed horns, conical horns, rectangular waveguide apertures, slot antennas, slotted waveguides and pyramidal horns are types of gain horn antennas. A lens horn antenna is another variation that uses lens elements to collimate divergent energy and prevent it from spreading in undesired directions. Lens horn antennas are applied in secure military communication systems, short range / vehicle anti-collision radar, point-to-point radio links, antenna testing and radiation monitoring systems.
