Pyramidal Horn

This section explains how to create a pyramidal horn.

When the option is selected, the next panel and a previsualization of the antenna with the parameters on the panel are displayed.

Position: set the Cartesian coordinates for the position of the antenna. For the antenna, the user can select the position with the mouse, selecting the 'Pick' check box and clicking on a point in the geometry panel.
Waveguide Aperture Dimensions: set the values for the pyramidal geometry on the top of the antenna. 'Width' and 'Depth' values are only for the top sides of the antenna. The bottom sides of the pyramidal geometry will be added from the 'rectangular waveguide dimensions' parameters.
Rectangular Waveguide Dimensions: set the values for the rectangular geometry on the bottom of the antenna. 'Width' and 'Depth' values will be added to the bottom sides of the pyramidal geometry on the top of the geometry.
Feed: Set the type of feeding which will receive the antenna. Select None if no feeding point is required, Coaxial to establish a coaxial feeding point in the bottom of the horn (which will be represented by a red-dashed line), or Dipole in order to set a single dipole antenna.

For each modification on parameters panel, this previsualization will be updated for the new parameters.

Clicking on 'Add' button, the current previsualization turns on the final visualization for the antenna with a red dashed line for the coaxial feed.
