Abstract:
A feed horn and systems and methods of making and using the feed horn are presented. Exemplary feed horns include a first portion comprising a dual mode geometry and a second portion comprising an axial corrugation geometry. The feed horn may operate simultaneously in a plurality of separate frequency bands (e.g., from about 18.3 GHz to about 20.2 GHz and from about 29.1 GHz to about 30.0 GHz) and a plurality of separate waveguide modes (e.g., TE11, TM11 or HE11 modes); simultaneously operating over two bandwidth segments of at least 1900 MHz that are separated by at least 5000 MHz. The feed horn may have a short axial length (e.g. less than 4 wavelengths at 18.3 GHz), and it may be configured to operate in a prime fed offset reflector antenna system. In addition, the feed horn may be formed as a single piece via a single casting pull.
