Figure 6

Far field radiation patterns derived from the simulations of Figure 5. Note that the HE11 mode does not have circular symmetry so that radiation patterns for the two axes are shown. (a) Without horn, showing a significant beam divergence. (b) With a modest horn, showing a much narrower beam.
