Abstract :
Hybrid modes in a square corrugated waveguide are investigated, and a technique of combining several modes for pattern shaping is described. The mode amplitudes are calculated from a known throat excitation and used to compute radiation patterns. One horn was designed, constructed, and tested. The theoretical patterns were in good agreement with experimental data.
