Abstract
An aperture antenna having the improved phase performance of radiated co- and cross-polarization has been found. The present antenna has, at least, a horn for radiating an electro-magnetic wave, and means for focusing the electromagnetic wave. The focusing means is actually implemented by a reflector or a dielectric lens, and is designed so that the phase distribution of an electric field on an aperture plane of the focusing means has the period of .pi./2 and the maximum phase at (2m-1) .pi./8 from the reference plane of one polarized wave in the polar coordinates system on the aperture plane, where m is an integer.
