Abstract:

The electrical characteristics of a combined horncigar antenna are described. The antenna consists of a disc-on-rod cigar housed in a conical horn. This antenna combination produces broadband radiation characteristics with very low sidelobes. Measured VSWR, gain and pattern characteristics are presented. Author
