Standard Gain Horn Antenna-Split Connector
Standard Gain Horn Antenna provides stable gain, predictable radiation patterns and wide frequency coverage for antenna measurements and RF calibration. Widely used in radar systems, satellite communication, antenna testing laboratories, EMC measurements, RF chambers and microwave research environments.
Standard Gain Horn Antennas with Detachable Coaxial Connectors
AO Microwave’s high-precision standard gain horn antennas with split connectors are designed to offer the ultimate flexibility between direct waveguide and coaxial connections. This system combines a standard gain waveguide-port horn antenna with a separate, detachable waveguide-to-coaxial adapter. Fabricated from premium aluminum alloys via CNC milling, these antennas feature gold-plated contact interfaces and precise alignment pins. Operating up to 50 GHz, our split connector horns deliver standard gain values of 10, 15, 20, or 25 dBi, a low typical input VSWR of < 1.25:1 with the adapter connected, and excellent cross-polarization isolation.
By utilizing a detachable configuration, our split connector horns allow engineers to easily switch between waveguide and coaxial connections. This flexibility makes them highly suited for multi-purpose laboratory measurements, flexible antenna test ranges, and environmental EMI field testing.

Flexible Interfacing in Split-Connector pyrimidal Horns
Split-connector horn antennas provide ultimate flexibility. By supplying a standard gain waveguide-port horn with a separate, detachable waveguide-to-coaxial adapter, we allow the user to easily switch between waveguide and coaxial connections.
However, adding a mechanical junction (the bolted flanges) introduces a potential site for impedance mismatch and insertion loss. AO Microwave resolves these interface-related losses by using precision machined flange faces and high-purity gold-plated contacts. Using standard alignment dowel pins ensures concentricity when reassembling the adapter, maintaining low VSWR and consistent phase behavior.
