Overview
This monograph is devoted to the theory, design, performance and application of microwave horns and feeds for reflector antennas. It is a collaboration between two research groups: the microwave antenna group at Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London; and the electromagnetic group at the University of Winnipeg, Canada. The University of London group has designed and built many large, high performance horns and reflector antennas. The Canadian group has pioneered analysis techniques and developed many small horns, microstrip and other antennas with desirable radiation characteristics. Together, the knowledge of the two groups complements each other and covers the main types of feeds in use today.
