Original Abstract Submitted
This document describes apparatuses, methods, and systems for a hybrid horn waveguide antenna. The hybrid horn waveguide antenna includes a waveguide, described in two sections, and an antenna section having both flaring features and step features. The first waveguide section is electrically coupled to a transmitter/receiver (e.g., transceiver) and defines an energy path along an x-axis. The second waveguide section transitions the energy path to travel along a z-axis. The antenna section has a first aperture that is coupled to the second waveguide section and includes flaring wall features in one plane (e.g., the E-plane) and step features in a second plane (e.g., the H-plane). The waveguide may further include an iris between the first waveguide section and the second waveguide section. Further, the hybrid horn waveguide antenna section may be formed from an upper structure and a lower structure manufactured via injection molding and then mated.
