Abstract

In this paper, a 2 × 4 planar horn antenna array for high power microwave (HPM) system applications is introduced. The pyramidal, E-plane-plane, H-plane and the two plates of horn antenna element are analyzed using HFSS. The pyramidal horn is arrayed in a 2 × 4 configuration structure to obtain a high gain for HPM applications. The proposed horn antenna has aperture of 457.2 ×457.2 mm2 and feeding aperture of 19.05 ×19.05 mm2 with 1524 mm axial distance between feeder and antenna aperture. The two 1.58 thickness copper plates of the antenna flared and supported using 11 rod of artelon dielectric material of εr= 3. The antenna introduces RL=-35 dB, VSWR=1, Zin=50 Ω, BW=4 GHz and gain of 24 dB at 10 GHz operating frequency.
