摘要: This letter presents a design technique for circular corrugated horns focal plane radioastronomical arrays based on the constancy of corrugation width. The advantages this solution are several: From mechanical point view, fabrication can be performed with an easy machining and low-cost processes; from electromagnetic careful optimization leads to high performance over WR22 standard waveguide band.
