Why is it important?
From our study, the gains of a basic horn and the proposed horn antennas can achieve around 17 dBi and 24 dBi, respectively. We found that the gain of a horn at 24 dB should have an aperture area of 0.035 m2 or larger compared to the area of the aperture. The aperture has been designed with a basic horn antenna around a quintuple. However, this paper proposes a technique for the metamaterial to influence the gain improvement of a conventional rectangular horn antenna without construction enlargement.
