Abstract :
The role of aperture shape in influencing the far-zone radiation pattern in the vicinity of the main beam of horn-reflector antennas is examined. The three major types of horn-reflector antennas are considered-pyramidal, diagonal, and conical-and the influence of their aperture shape on the spatial character of antenna radiation is assessed.
