ABSTRACT:
A short horn antenna (10) adapted for array use includes a rectangular waveguide with broad upper (12) and lower (14) walls and narrow side walls (16, 18), defining a radiating aperture (20) and a feed end closed off by a shorting plate (22). A stepped upper ridge (26) has a slot (50) adjacent the shorting plate, and a shorter stepped lower ridge (46) has a corresponding slot. An unbalanced transmission line (75) extends through the shorting wall, and the smaller conductor (76) extends into the waveguide as an electric probe (60). The probe includes a first portion (64), extending parallel to the waveguide axis (8) and into the slot in the upper ridge. The probe (60) also includes a second portion (66) extending at an angle (90.degree.) relative to the first portion (64) of the probe (60).
