RADIATION PATTERN
The radiation pattern of a horn antenna is
characterized by its wide aperture and flared
shape. It has a broad radiation pattern with a
relatively uniform distribution of energy
within its main lobe. The radiation pattern is
typically symmetrical and exhibits a wide
coverage area. Horn antennas are known for
their high directivity and ability to radiate or
receive energy efficiently in a specific
direction. It contains only main lobe and a
few side lobes. 38
