TLDR
In this paper, the propagation behavior of a corrugated cylinder is considered with particular reference to the application of such structures to hybrid-mode feeds for large reflector antennas, and a procedure for achieving a balanced hybrid condition in the horn aperture is discussed.
Abstract
The propagation behaviour of a corrugated cylinder is considered with particular reference to the application of such structures to hybrid-mode feeds for large reflector antennas. Results are presented which relate to the design of narrow-flare-angle horns of circular cross-section. These include the parametric dependence of a number of special points on the propagation curves. A procedure for achieving a balanced hybrid condition in the horn aperture is discussed following the proposal made by Bryant.

Hybrid mode horn antennas

TL;DR: A horn antenna with a cylindrical and an expanded (horn-shaped) waveguide for radiating or receiving polarized electromagnetic waves was proposed in this article, where the waveguide wall was partially or wholly covered with one or more grids of electrical conducting material with dielectric layers between them.

Optimum design of a Gregorian-corrected spherical-reflector antenna

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of spherical reflector antennas with Gregorian correctors is investigated with particular reference to their application in satellite-communications ground stations, and an optimum subreflector profile is chosen on the basis of maximum overall efficiency for a particular feed and antenna-scan angle.
