reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0047495 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A set of antenna gain-standard horns covering the microwave range from 0.77 cm to 31.5 cm has been designed and carefully callibrated. The horn fabrication is simple and can be duplicated accurately from the drawings supplied. A sample method of extending and improving the accuracy of Schelkunoffs gain curves is also described.
