Abstract

A gain-enhanced horn antenna is proposed. This antenna is integrated with an H-plane metal lens, giving a compact size. It can be fabricated in one go by using 3-D printing technique. The metal lens can make the horn antenna radiate a quasi-uniform wavefront and thus enhance antenna gain. Using this idea, a horn antenna operating at Ku-band is designed. Simulated results show that the proposed antenna can provide a gain of 16.65 dBi with a -10-dB impedance bandwidth (|S₁₁| < - 10 dB) of 37.9% (12.6-18.5 GHz). The maximum gain enhancement is 4 dB at 18.5 GHz compared with the conventional horn antenna. The antenna length is smaller than half of that of optimum horn antennas. © 2023 IEEE.
