Design and Simulation of High Gain X-Band Horn Antenna for Calibration

Abstract:

For calibrating the X-band equipment in the TT&C ship based on wireless communication, we design a high gain rectangular horn antenna. Through analysing the theory of structure, the antenna’s preliminary size parameter is estimated and it is simulated based on HFSS. The antenna structure parameters are obtained after parameters optimization. The results of simulation indicate that the design of antenna indexes meet the needs completely. The structure of antenna is compact and it easy to process. The simulation method in the paper may also be referred to other related design.
