Abstract :
An exact solution is presented for the fourth-order polynomial representing the general horn design problem. When the available approximations are used for the gain reduction factors, this leads to closed-form expressions for the aperture, and hence the other, dimensions of the pyramidal horn of any desired gain and aperture phase error.
