Coaxial horn antenna system

An antenna feed system includes a plurality of RF horn antennas for operating on a plurality of RF frequency bands. A first one of the feed horns can have a boresight axis and is configured for operating at a first one of the frequency bands. A second one of the feed horns is positioned coaxially wi...

Zusammenfassung:An antenna feed system includes a plurality of RF horn antennas for operating on a plurality of RF frequency bands. A first one of the feed horns can have a boresight axis and is configured for operating at a first one of the frequency bands. A second one of the feed horns is positioned coaxially within the first one of the feed horns and is configured for operating at least at a second one of the frequency bands. Further, the first one of the feed horns is a corrugated horn that has a plurality of corrugations formed on an interior surface defining a profile. The profile extends substantially from a throat of the first feed horn and along a tapered portion of the first feed horn. The profile substantially minimizes an interaction of the corrugations with the second feed horn.
