The main purpose of this report is present design process of a double ridged horn antenna with an operating frequency of 1 26GHz. This report will feature the entire process, from planning to designing and finally, to simulation whereby the end results of the project will be presented. To begin with, the report will start off with a simple discussion of the basic parameters of an antenna to let readers have a better grasp of the characteristics of an antenna. It will be followed shortly by the design process whereby discussions will be made to discover the dimension of the antenna. Finally, the antenna is simulated by using the High Frequency Structure Simulator. The results will be monitored and adjusted to achieve better performance.
