Abstract

Two methods of calculating correction factors for the measured short-range gain of tapered horns, a method of transmitting power from one aperture to the other and a method based on the geometric diffraction theory, are compared. The accuracy of correction factors is estimated from experimental data as a function of the parameter n=Rλ/D2.
