Wideband H-plane dielectric horn antenna

Juan Ramon Mosig, Maria Garcia Vigueras, Lei Wang

By flaring a dielectric waveguide in the H-plane, an H-plane dielectric horn is formed, which could be directly excited by an SIW feed. However, matching and radiation performances are poor due to the thinness of the substrate. To improve these performance ...
