Example 9: Ka Band Sector Horn

This sample report features a Ka band sector horn, evaluated with our 3D spherical patterns at high resolution (5 degree steps). The antenna was swept from 33 to 40 GHz.

Results: The measured forward gain was typically 17 dBi, and the 6.5 degree x 90 degree wide “fan shape” of a quarter-sector horn resolved well. The report includes graphs of gain vs frequency, as well as our interactive variable frequency polar plots. As always, all data is provided in Excel spreadsheet format, allowing for additional plots and post-analysis. The results spreadsheet can be downloaded HERE.

The photos below, also show our K band chamber source antenna, which is lit up by the range’s alignment laser. Results from this example antenna were also used to demonstrate our desktop model capabilities.
