Unit Ii Radiation Mechanisms and Design Aspects

The document discusses different types of aperture antennas including horn antennas. Horn antennas radiate electromagnetic waves and come in various designs like rectangular, circular, sectoral, pyramidal, conical, and biconical horns. Horn antennas work based on the principle that a flared waveguide can radiate electromagnetic waves efficiently. The design of horn antennas involves factors like the flare angle and shape of the horn.
