Standard Gain Horns

Standard Gain Horn Antenna Features
Our range of standard gain horn antennas is based on three nominal gain values, 10 dBi, 15 dBi and 20 dBi. The pyramidal standard gain horn design is well liked for its predictable performance with excellent VSWR characteristics and robust, reliable design. VSWR for these gain horns is typically better than 1.4:1 with the integral connector, achieving better than 1.2:1 with a waveguide flange. Pictured above are three horn antennas, all of them are Waveguide 18 horns with integral connectors. The shortest is the 10 dBi gain horn, the next longest is the 15 dBi horn and the longest of all is the 20 dBi horn. Protective radomes can be added to any of our standard gain horns, on request, for all weather use.
- Detailed Free Test Report provided with each horn antenna including graphs of Gain and Beamwidths
- Weather proofing available
- Q-par Angus stocks a wider range of Standard Gain Horn Antennas than most of our competitors
10 dBi Standard Gain Horns
- Horn dimensions decrease exponentially with gain so that a 10 dBi horn even at 0.5 - 2 GHz becomes practicable.
- Useful where absolute gain isn't important and/or where a wider beamwidth is useful.
- Nominal gain at mid band is 10 dBi, with a spread of about 3 dB across the frequency band.
15 dBi Standard Gain Horns
- 15 dBi Gain is a sensible trade-off between portability and gain especially for lower frequency horns.
- As an indication, a 15 dBi 0.9 - 1.5 GHz (WG5) horn is approximately 1 metre in length while a 20 dBi equivalent is more than double at 2.1m.
- Nominal gain at mid band is 15 dBi, with a spread of about 3 dB across the frequency band.
20 dBi Standard Gain Horns
- Ideal for EMI/RFI testing
- EMC measurements
- Surveillance
- Materials evaluation
- Use as a Microwave Antenna Gain Standard
- Unlike many other
manufacturers we also offer low frequency 20 dBi horns down to WG5
(WR770) or even lower
- Nominal gain at mid band is 20 dBi, with a spread of about 3 dB across the frequency band
A full horn antenna test report including gain against frequency is provided with each horn.

Standard Gain Horns Table
Standard Gain Horn Antennas that have individual datasheets available online have the PDF symbol and Green text part number, simply click to open.
Flanged horn antennas will have a shorter length L than stated as they will not have the coaxial transition section.
The power rating is for the given connector, other connectors will be rated differently and flanged standard gain horn antennas have a significantly higher power rating than horn antennas with connectors.
