  • Abstract
    A high gain hybrid DRA / horn antenna for millimeter-wave (MMW) application is proposed. The antenna employs a slot coupled cylindrical DRA to excite a thin-wall surface mounted circular horn. The optimized design exhibits an operating frequency range from 29.6 GHz to 30.75 GHz with a bandwidth of 3.8%. The surface mounted horn enhances the total realized gain to 11.2 dB. A very good agreement has been achieved between both the numerical simulations (CST MWS and HFSS) and measurements.
