Millimeter-wave integrated-horn antennas. I. Theory

The far-field pattern and input impedance of a dipole-fed horn antenna in a ground plane are calculated using full-wave analysis. The solution is based on the numerical evaluation of the pertinent Green's function for the horn structure and the application of the method of moments. The convergence characteristics of the full-wave analysis method are investigated, along the the resonant properties of the strip-dipole and the corresponding behavior of the far-field patterns. >
