This invention is about designing a parabolic pyramidal horn antenna (PPHA) in such a way that it achieves higher values of gain than typical pyramidal horn antenna with equal aperture area. The parabolic tapering concentrates radiating field in the propagating direction in great extent so as to have higher aperture efficiency with pencil beam radiating characteristics. Because of the smaller values of beamwidth in both the planes (E and H). such antenna can be used in wireless power transfer applications where there is a need to concentrate electromagnetic waves at a singular point for efficient energy extraction. The PPHA is fabricated for the bandwidth from 2.2 to 3.3 GHz. The VSWR is less than 1.55 over the entire frequency with antenna efficiency of 96 %. The gain at the 2.45 GHz is 20:4 dB.
