✦ Synopsis

A technique, simple and easy to use, is presented to design the optimum gain pyramidal horn. The optimum gain pyramidal horn design equation available in the literature is improved. Design parameters are computed from the simple and explicit analytical formulas. The pyramidal horn gain is determined with no path length error approximation. Several design examples are given to show the performance of the improved design technique.

In this work, we apply classical and new self-adaptive differential evolution (DE) algorithms to the design of optimum gain pyramidal horns. The application of DE algorithms to pyramidal horn design allows the accurate calculation of their physical dimensions in a short amount of time. Moreover, sel

## Abstract The conical horn gain is expected to increase with increasing flare angle until it reaches a maximum and then should decrease. The available closed‐form approximation for conical horn loss factor, and hence gain, is examined in this paper in this background. It turns out that this appro
