| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents a novel Quad-Ridged Horn (QRH) antenna incorporating a balanced feed. A cross shaped fusiform structure is mounted in the center of the QRH. The fusiform structure has the effect of suppressing the cross-polarization component by improving the conventional QRH TE11 mode. The paper presents an equivalent circuit that has been derived for the proposed balanced feed network. Four SMA probes are symmetrically distributed around the horn wall and the inner conductors of the two probes facing each other are connected. The cross-polar level, within a 30-degree solid angle, is less than -23 dB from 2 GHz to 6 GHz. The measured isolation between two orthogonal linearly polarized ports is higher than 42 dB and the return loss is lower than -15 dB over the entire working frequency band. | en_US |
