Abstract
The design of a compact dual-band circular corrugated horn for satellite services in the Ku/K-bands is presented in this letter. The horn geometry has been obtained by a suitable design approach, which leads to the definition of a good starting point that is subsequently refined by a rapidly converging optimization technique. The tight agreement between measured and simulated data validates the present design.
