Abstract
This article discusses a new prototype X-S band horn feed for future use at various DSN sites. This project was undertaken to more nearly optimize the X-band performance of these stations. This feed is a corrugated horn with extremely deep corrugation grooves that are suitable for both the X-band and S-band. The horn is very large, becoming gain limited, so that it performs about equally in both bands. A one-half scale model was fabricated and the measurement results were good reproductions of theoretical predictions. A full scale item has now been completed and will be tested at DSS 13.
