  • Abstract
    A finite-difference method is used to design a sectoral horn antenna that uses corner channel inserts to produce a tapered aperture amplitude distribution in the E-plane. The channel inserts effectively suppress sidelobe levels in the radiation pattern. Good agreement is found between predicted and experimental far-field distributions.
