Aperture controlled substrate integrated h-plane horn antenna

The H-plane integrated horn antenna equipped with hard internal E-walls, and soft external H-walls is introduced. The lateral hard walls of the horn resolve the tapered nature of the horn aperture and provide the antenna with uniform aperture distribution at the hard frequency band. The external soft surfaces around the aperture suppress the aperture scattered waves in order to reduce the antenna back radiation.
