Abstract :
A new corrugated horn is described for providing full-Earth coverage from a geostationary satellite. The horn has low-sidelobes, low cross-polarization and is very compact. We outline the design of this horn and describe its performance giving theoretical and measured results for return loss and radiation patterns.
