摘要
A new conformal mapping technique for determining the characteristic impedance of TEM horn antennas is presented, The original work by CarreI [1], on noncoplanar fin antennas of this type, predicts incorrect impedance values, which do not agree with experimental results, This paper discusses fully the source of the error in [1] and details the successive mappings involved in the new approach, Verification of the method is provided by experimental results and by comparison with an alternative numerical technique.
