Grooved horn radiator

Grooved horn radiator for 3.7 - 6 GHz with a transition to coaxial cable with SMA connector

Grooved horn radiators are conical horn radiators with a corrugated surface in the area of ​​the aperture .

In a wide design, the grooved horn radiators have an almost constant and uniform radiation angle in both the E and H plane. The angle of radiation can be between 20 ° and 70 °. Special features of this antenna are the high side lobe attenuation and the low internal losses.

A narrow design results in a frequency-dependent radiation characteristic that is also uniform in the E and H planes. The bandwidth of this antenna is one octave . Beam angles from 7 ° to 40 ° can be realized.

Grooved horn radiators are usually attached to the LNBs of satellite reception systems.

Due to the circular symmetry, these horn antennas can be produced for all types of polarization . That is why they are preferably used on the LNB , a component for satellite reception.
