Improving the Performance of Profiled Conical Horn Using Polynomial Interpolation and Targeting the Region of Interest

Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 77, 129-136, 2018
Abstract
In this paper, design of a profiled conical horn using piecewise biarc hermite polynomial interpolation is proposed. In order to improve the performance of the horn, a novel concept of `targeting the Region of Interest (RoI)' is used. The target specifications are decided based on the applicability of the horn in a reflectometry system for plasma diagnostics (D-band). Apart from the design details, the simulated results of the proposed horn are covered.
