Integrated‐circuit probe‐excited horn‐antenna arrays made in silicon are well developed. They are a very promising class of antenna arrays for millimeter‐ and submillimeter‐wave applications. Further development of this technology involves integrating mixers and amplifiers into antenna arrays. In an effort to develop an horn‐antenna‐mixer array based on the existing technology, various antenna probes inside the pyramidal horns have been examined on scaled model horns at microwave frequencies. Modeling results and design principles of these antenna probes are presented. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
