Abstract

In this study, a high-gain and dual-polarized Quad Ridged Horn Antenna (QRHA) is proposed and designed to be used in Obstacle Penetrating Imaging Radar (OPIR) applications. The quad ridged design is developed and then optimized by using the antenna design simulator software; CST Microwave Studio. The antenna parameters including the center frequency, frequency bandwidth and the antenna radiation pattern beam width are considered based on the requirements of OPIR applications. The final design is obtained for the center frequency of 2.785 GHz with a -10 dB bandwidth of at least 2.5 GHz. The final designed QRHA is able to provide a gain of 12.4 dB with a beam width of 36ᵒ at the center frequency of 2.785 GHz.
