Hi

Do you have link for spreadsheet tractrix for rectangular throat ?

I have a Mundorff AMT which I would like to test in dipole horn-config.

OS is only round. If you just want the flare rate then its

y(X) = sqrt( y0^2 + Tan(theta)^2 x X^2)

y0 is the throat radius and theta the final wall angle (which will usually be at the -6 dB angles)

thank you Dr. Geddes .

Audiodidakt , please pm me your email address and i can send you the spreadsheet for rectangular tractrix calculation.

hum4God,

ygm, I included an "elliptical geddes" just for snorts.

You will have the opportunity to choose the horizontal and vertical angles you desire...then kludge the corners to suit...

theta is the half-angle of the wall-to-wall angle, I presume; i.e. from center line axis to wall?

Yes, 1/2 angle

Hello,

Hornresp can calculate both OSwaveguide (round) and Le Cléac'h horn (even mutlifacdts an square).

You then can export the profile.


You may also use the english version of my spreadsheet to calculate Le Cléac'h horns with facets. You can download it at :

Are there also Tractrix calculators that show the distance along the wall?
