Abstract
The characteristics of the phase centers of electromagnetic horns having nearly symmetric pattern are presented analytically. It is proved that the phase center on the ϕ=45° plane coincides with the average phase center, and if a single plane phase center is used to define the horn phase center approximately, the ϕ=45° plane phase center will be the best choice.
