Studies on the Directivity of Horn Antennas for Communication Links in Low Network Coverage Areas

Abstract: Horn antennas have been observed to have excellent directive properties for transmission of microwaves. Directive communication using horn antennas can be carried out in areas with low or no network coverage through establishment of stable line-of-sight links to connect a low network coverage area to a network by using Customer Premises Equipment such as horn antennas and modems. The performances of different types of pyramidal horn antennas are therefore compared to select the best possible option among them.
