ACCURACY OF CORRECTIONS FOR THE MEASURED SHORT-RANGE GAIN OF MICROWAVE HORN ANTENNAS

摘要

Two methods of calculating correction factors for the measured short-range gain of tapered horns, a method of transmitting power from one aperture to the other and a method based on the geometric diffraction theory. Are compared. The accuracy of correction factors is estimated from experimental data as a function of the Parameter n =Rλ/D~2.
