A smooth‐wall pyramidal horn offering satisfactory performance over an octave bandwidth (in the frequency range 4–8 GHz) is reported. While the VSWR is 1.5 or better, the pattern and gain characteristics are also acceptable. The experimental results are presented and compared with those obtained by simulation. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
