Abstract :
In this paper a novel dielectric-filled TEM-horn antenna has been designed and the benefit that can be obtained by using dielectric filling into the general TEM-horn is explored. Here we try to do some research on the radiation properties of this proposed antenna with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical method, and then give out some conclusions about the improved properties comparing with the general TEM-horn antenna
