This article describes the manufacturing of a horn antenna using 3D commercial printer. The was chosen for its simplicity and practical versatility. standardised is one most widely used antennas in microwave technology. A can be connected to waveguides. has been selected so that this fabricated by printing thus obtain equivalent antenna. then excited waveguide. 3Dprinted with metallic layers ve...

This paper describes the waveform reconstruction method of the electric field emitted by UWB (ultra wideband) device by using the complex antenna factor and observed waveform with an oscilloscope. The waveform radiated by a doubleridged guide horn antenna and an impulse generator was measured by an oscilloscope and was reconstructed by the method. The peak power measurement using a resolution b...

With the advent of cryogenically cooled front-end assemblies, it has become the practice to define antenna system noise temperature at the horn aperture rather than at the low-noise amplifier (LNA) input port. It is not generally known that when the reference port is moved towards the horn aperture, the values of the operating system noise temperature, Top, and effective receiver noise temperat...

Abstract—Impact of electromagnetic interference on front-end receiver behaviour is theoretically and experimentally studied outside the bandwidth of the antennas. Microwave chaotic generation is observed. Under certain conditions, reflected waves combined to the non linearity of the front-end receiver leads to a chaotic signal generation between the antenna and the front-end receiver. Different...
