Abstract
In this paper, a classical‐type approach is used to analyze the hard horn antenna. The quasi‐TEM mode in the longitudinally corrugated cylindrical waveguide is found by using the homogenized asymptotic boundary conditions. The finite horn length is accounted for by including a phase factor in the waveguide‐aperture fields, and the radiation patterns are finally obtained by aperture integration. The bandwidth is found to be much wider than previously anticipated with respect to low cross‐polarization. Also, an advanced mode‐matching code has been used for verification of the aperture field and the radiation patterns obtained with the much faster classical model. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
