Multimode Horn Antennas ( some applications ) • multimode excitations are used : • to obtain equal beam-widths in the E andHplanes • to reduce the side lobe levels
Calculation of Aperture Fields • Modes: • TE01 mode • TE10 mode (orthogonal counterpart of TE01) These modes are added vectorially to create the diagonal mode
Calculation of Aperture Fields From the electric field vector, it is clear that *only Ex exists for one mode and *only Ey exists for the orthogonal mode. The spatial variation of Ex and Ey is given by propagating wave function
Calculation of Far-Fields y-component similarly x-component
Calculation of Far-Fields the electric field amplitude in the farfield for principal planes
Calculation of Far-Fields the electric field amplitude in the far field for the ± 45o planes
