I tried to shorten it step by step. Unfortunately it happened what could be expected. The feed can be de-tuned to about 5.5GHz but above that the matching vanishes. Probably the distance to the backside of the horn is too big. So this one was a fail. Fortunately i can still use it for WLAN if i make the radiator a bit longer again. If you want to use the lowest of the 5GHz bands it is really a nice and very solid construction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not all things work out&#8230; I was searching for some nice feed for a offset dish to be used for 6cm narrow band.
