A horn antenna or microwave horn is an antenna that consists of a flaring metal waveguide shaped like a horn to direct radio waves in a beam. Horns are widely used as antennas at UHF and microwave frequencies, above 300 MHz. [ 1 ]
Bell Labs' horn antenna, April 2007. The horn antenna at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Holmdel, New Jersey, was constructed on Crawford Hill in 1959 to support Project Echo, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's passive communications satellites, [8] [5] which used large aluminized plastic balloons (satellite balloon) as reflectors to bounce radio signals from one point on the ...
Horn A horn antenna has a flaring metal horn attached to a waveguide. It is a simple antenna with moderate gain of 15 to 25 dBi, used for applications such as radar guns, radiometers, and as feed antennas for parabolic dishes. Slot Consists of a waveguide with one or more slots cut in it to emit the microwaves. Linear slot antennas emit narrow ...
The Holmdel Horn Antenna and other structures of the Bell Labs annex complex atop Crawford Hill, as seen in 2023 when it was described as being comprised of "a cluster of shacks and sheds" that "could be mistaken for an old mining camp you might come across" in the American mountain west.
The 7-story tall horn antenna within the radome at Andover Earth Station. This type of antenna is called a Hogg or horn-reflector antenna, invented by Albert Beck and Harald Friis in 1941 and further developed by D. L. Hogg at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1961.
Feed horn with concentric rings (left) and LNB (right) on a Hughes DirecWay home satellite dish. An LNBF (LNB with integrated feed horn) that has been cut into two.Visible is the scalar horn antenna (the funnel with concentric rings), which couples the microwave beam into a short waveguide (the tube connecting the feed horn to the LNB electronics part of the LNBF).
This type of antenna is called a Hogg or horn-reflector antenna, invented by Albert Beck and Harald Friis in 1941 and further developed by D. C. Hogg at Bell Labs in 1961. It consists of a flaring metal horn with a reflector mounted in the mouth at a 45° angle, so the antenna receives radio waves at a 90° angle to the horn axis.
Horn reflector antennas like the KS-15676 are the same design as the Holmdel Horn Antenna built by D. L. Hogg at Bell Labs in 1961, pictured in the article. 1 . This design is referred to in microwave tech literature as the Hogg antenna.
