Horn Antenna Applications

Horn antennas are very popular from 200 MHz frequency to higher frequencies up to 40GHz. The horn antenna has a distinctive design that is enlarged towards the end.

Horn antennas typically feature a directional radiation pattern with a high antenna gain of 10-20 dBi, some antennas have a higher gain such as the standard horn antenna up to 25 dBi. Horn antennas feature a low VSWR and a wide impedance bandwidth.

As the frequency of operation is increased, the gain of horn antennas increases. This is because the horn aperture is always measured in wavelengths; the horn antenna is "electrically larger" at higher frequencies because a higher frequency has a smaller wavelength.

The advantages of FT-RF Horn antenna:

• Moderate directivity, low standing wave ratio (SWR), broad bandwidth
• Easy waveguide interface: These antennas are very easy to interface to the waveguide due to their shape, but they can also be designed with a transition so that a regular coaxial feeder can be used.
• Simple construction and adjustment
• ODM OEM OBM & RD services.

Horn antennas are easy to make and put together. Each type of antenna has a wide range of applications:
