Abstract

This paper presents a Compact Dual-Circularly Polarized Corrugated Horn with Integrated Septum Polarizer in the X-band. Usually such a complicated structure would be fabricated in parts and assembled together. However, exploiting the versatility afforded by Metal 3D-printing, a complete prototype is fabricated as a single part, enabling a compact design. Any variation due to mating tolerance of separate parts is eliminated. The prototype is designed to work from 9.5GHz to 10GHz. It has an impedance match of better than S11;<-15dB and a gain about 13.4dBic at 9.75GHz. The efficiency is better than 95% in the operating band.
