13.5 dBi Gain, 3.5 GHz to 8 GHz, Multi Octave Horn Antenna OBH-350D-15

What can Multi Octave Horn Antennas do?

Multi Octave Horn Antennas are widely used for the transmission and reception of microwave signals due to their simple design, high effectiveness, and simple feeding. Measuring antennas and feeds for reflector antennas are two main applications of this antenna. The antenna is suitable for use in airborne wireless communications so that the effect of helicopter communication is improved, as well as supporting the various communication services so that high-quality data transmission can be achieved and the user feels at ease with the network experience. And it is extensively used for EW applications.

What are the characteristics of Multi Octave Horn Antennas?

Multi Octave Horn Antennas range in frequency from 3.5GHz to 8GHz. The antenna supports Single Linear polarized waveforms and the unique ridge shape has high influence on the side lobes – for specific frequencies. The ridge structure is utilized to extend the single-mode operational bandwidth before the higher order modes occur. High gain, low VSWR, and input handling capability of up to 10 watts make this horn antenna an excellent general use performer. Inside the horn, exist two polygons with the same thickness of the used waveguide ridges, which are the proposed novel ridges. The antennas offer low VSWR in their nominal frequency range and extensive bandwidth. The gain increases with frequency up to approx.16 dBi, depending on the horn’s size and shape. The increasing gain with frequency helps to compensate for cable losses. The antenna supports Single Linear Polarized waveforms. Moreover, the Multi Octave Horn Antennas are extremely weight-saving, weighing only 800g, and lighter than an ordinary backpack.
