ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a horn antenna which provides minimized cross-polarization in the far field of the antenna. The antenna arrangement comprises a horn including four walls wherein a first pair of opposing concentric conic walls are associated with a common longitudinal axis, and a second pair of opposing planar walls are aligned radially to the common longitudinal axis of the cones. The walls taper down from an offset parabolic main reflector to intersect a common apex corresponding to a focal point of the main reflector. The longitudinal axis of the horn is arranged at a predetermined angle to the common longitudinal axis of the cones to minimize cross-polarization in either one or both of the TE.sub.01 or TE.sub.10 modes in the far field of the antenna.
