What is an E-plane sectoral horn?

  • A.A horn flared only in the plane of the electric field
  • B.A horn flared only in the plane containing the magnetic field vector
  • C.A horn flared equally in both planes to give a symmetric beam pattern
  • D.A horn with no flare at all, being simply an open ended rectangular guide

Answer: A

An E-plane sectoral horn opens out in the direction of the electric field and keeps the guide dimension in the other plane, so it narrows the beam in the E-plane only. The H-plane version does the opposite, and flaring both gives the pyramidal horn. An unflared guide is simply an open ended waveguide. Sectoral horns are used where a fan beam is wanted, narrow in one plane and broad in the other, which suits many radar and landing aid applications directly.
