Abstract :
In the three-antenna method, the phase center location is used to determine the gain of double-ridged guide horn antennas. The phase center of a conventional ridged horn antenna is calculated using the finite integration method. A comparison of the gain determined from the phase center location and that obtained from numerical analysis confirms the efficacy of using the phase center for antenna calibration.
