  • Abstract
    An improved W-band corrugated horn has been designed, manufactured, and experimentally measured for integration into a gyro-device as a quasi-optical launcher. This horn converts a cylindrical TE11 mode into the free space TEM00 mode over the frequency band of 90-100 GHz with a reflection better than -30 dB and a coupling efficiency of ~99.4%.
