Abstract

The wideband and low-profile H-plane horn antenna is useful for applications in missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles because of its wide bandwidth and stable radiation beams. The H-plane horn antenna is designed to be mounted on a conducting platform. The grounding platform is an integral part of the antenna. This paper presents some parametric studies of the H-plane horn antenna as a function of the size of the ground plane. Simulated results are presented to examine the influence of the grounding platform size on the proposed antenna's bandwidth, gain, radiation patterns, and front-to-back ratio. These results are useful in the actual installation of the H-plane horn antenna in practical applications.
