RF HORN

thingiverse

I'm a second-generation RF engineer who's always been fascinated by high-powered antennas, particularly those used in military applications that my dad would show me when I was growing up. A few years ago, I decided to take on the challenge of building one myself and, thanks to my newfound interest in 3D printing and CAD design, I've finally completed a working prototype. This RF horn, affectionately known as "The TooT," operates within the 5-8 GHz frequency range with an impressive 20dB gain. To improve its performance, I've updated various components, including the brackets, cylinders, and horn itself, while also introducing new base plates, clamps, and mounts. To ensure a smooth printing process, I recommend printing each part at 15% infill density and using a heated bed to minimize warping. Once printed, you'll need to obtain an element and sleeve kit specifically designed for this antenna, which will be available online soon.
