A technique, simple and easy to use, is presented to design the optimum gain pyramidal horn. The optimum gain pyramidal horn design equation available in the literature is improved. Design parameters are computed from the simple and explicit analytical formulas. The pyramidal horn gain is determined with no path length error approximation. Several design examples are given to show the performance of the improved design technique. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 11: 188–193, 2001.
