Abstract
A horn antenna for emitting an electromagnetic HPEM microwave pulse along a central axis contains a microwave generator for the pulse having a waveguide along the central axis with a generator opening for the pulse, and a horn structure for shaping the pulse with an input opening and an emission opening for the pulse. The generator contains at least one HPEM source for the pulse. Each HPEM source contains at least two antennas for pulse components, disposed in succession in parallel with the central axis. The pulse is formed as a sum of the pulse components. A method for reconstructing a horn antenna to form the horn antenna with increased power, includes constructively increasing a number of antennas toward a respective HPEM source and orienting remaining antennas in a row relative to the first antenna, increasing the waveguide length, and keeping other dimensions of the horn antenna unchanged.
