Abstract

The paper deals with the design and development of a dual polarised corrugated conical horn employed as a feed for parabolic reflector antennas used in very small aperture terminal applications. The VSAT antenna feed is designed, fabricated and tested to operate over a band from 3.7 GHz to 6.5GHz with good pattern symmetry, low side lobes and low cross-polarisation.
