What is a conical horn?

  • A.A horn tapering inwards towards the aperture to concentrate the field
  • B.A horn whose flare angle changes continuously along its length in a curve
  • C.A circular waveguide flared out to a round aperture
  • D.A rectangular horn whose mouth has been rounded off for mechanical reasons

Answer: C

A conical horn is the circular guide equivalent of the pyramidal horn, flaring a round guide out to a round mouth, and it is the natural feed for a circular aperture such as a paraboloid. Its pattern is still not perfectly symmetric in the plain form, which is why corrugated and dual mode versions were developed. A horn that tapers inward would be a transition rather than a radiator, and a continuously curved flare describes some specialised profiles rather than the basic conical shape.
