The design of a cylindrical coaxial horn antenna with a generatrix bend and the central conductor mounted along its axis is proposed. Two constructions types (varieties) of such antenna are studied. In the first case, such conductor is a metal-dielectric rod, which does not reach the throat of the horn. In the second one it is a copper rod, reaching the throat of the horn. Experimentally confirmed that for certain sizes of the rod such antenna constructions provide reduced width of the antenna pattern by 12° and allow to receive electromagnetic wave with arbitrary polarization.References
