The broadband requirement in microwave systems has necessitated attention on components that can operate over frequency ranges far broader than those of standard rectangular waveguides. This paper describes the design and development of an ridged horn to match the waveguide impedance to freespace impedance so that the horn could be used as a feed for an offset-fed parabolic reflector over a wide band of frequencies, i.e., C and X bands (4.2 to 10.2 GHZ). In the present case, a five stepped chebyshev transformer has been used. Complete design required for horn feed as well for the ridged waveguide components necessary for testing has been carried out. The results obtained are quite encouraging. Good agreement is found between the measured results and theoretical values.


Abstract: This paper present a novel design and development of inverted U-slot rectangular ring coupled monopole microstrip antenna (IURCMMA) for quad band operation. The monopole microstrip antennas are commonly designed for wide band operation. However, by placing the optimum ring slots in the form of slits on the radiating patch, the antenna can be made to operate at different frequency bands. The proposed antenna operates in the frequency range of 1.5 to 10 GHz with a peak gain of 8.69 dB and gives omni directional radiation pattern in both E and H planes. The measured and simulated results of return loss are in good agreement with each other. With these features the proposed antenna may find many applications at microwave frequency range.
