Four types of ridge profile utilized by the antennas are proposed for the performance evaluation, namely linear, quadratic, exponential and Gaussian ridges. The performance evaluation is carried out by characterizing the influence of ridge shape toward the antenna parameters in terms of bandwidth, beamwidth, gain, sidelobe level, and isolation. From the results, it can be inferred that each type of ridge profile produces different frequency and performance responses both for quad-ridged and double-ridged horn antenna. The quadratic ridge profile yields the widest antenna bandwidth and lowest sidelobe level (SLL) for both horn antennas. While in terms of gain and beamwidth, optimum performances are achieved by the antennas with linear and quadratic ridge profiles, respectively.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Different frequency,Double-ridged,Double-ridged horn,Optimum performance,performance,Quad-ridged,Quad-ridged horn antennas,ridge profile[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Double-ridged,horn antenna,performance,quad-ridged,ridge profile[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work is partially supported by SAINTEK 2018 project from the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education, The Republic of Indonesia.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/TENCON.2019.8929577[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
