ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This paper firstly explores the design of two sets of circular polarized monopulse horn antenna array with 28 radiating elements. The suggested antenna was fabricated, and measurement was conducted. The measured result had a good agreement with the theoretical results. Both the simulation and measurement results satisfied the design requirements. The key point of this design was how to obtain the circular polarized wave since the injected wave was linearly polarized. In our design, the radiated field from the horn antenna was a summation of two linearly polarized waves which transmitted in the horn antenna was named as TE10 mode and TE01 mode. If the phase difference of TE10 and TE01 modes was 90 deg, and their amplitudes were the same at the radiation port of the horn antenna, a circular polarized wave was constructed. The feed of the horn antenna was a waveguide which has only one mode that is TE10. To obtain the mentioned two modes, high modes which were filtered with a specified cross-section size of the horn except the required two modes were generated with an inclined-slot connecting the waveguide and horn antenna. The other way to generate the high modes that was studied in this thesis was adding a substrate sheet at the neck of the horn antenna. In this thesis, the classical theory was applied to verify the feasibility of the realization of the radiation characteristics of circular polarization with its far-field radiation performance especially the axial ratio. Then the physical structure of the dual-m
