Abstract

In this paper, a modified multimode hem antenna is designed to have 142 mm horn aperture radius and 921 mm length in order to be safe under 100 MW peak pulse power at 3 cm wave length through breakdown phenomenon study that threshold field strengths for the air breakdown phenomena is decided to be 3.78 MV/m. The proposed antenna is measured gain over 27 dBi and the -25 dB beam width of 29$^{\circ}$ in vertical plane.
