Summary

This block synthesizes a Pyramid Horn Antenna by iterating to find an optimal χ (Chi) value. It generates a 3D manifold including the feed waveguide and flared aperture. Refer to the Technical Diagram for dimension mapping: A/B (Aperture) a

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
`Desired Gain (dBi)`	Scalar	Desired Gain (dBi)
`f [Hz]`	Scalar	Design Frequency [Hz]
`a [cm]`	Scalar	Waveguide Broad Wall (a)
`b [cm]`	Scalar	Waveguide Narrow Wall (b)
`Waveguide - L [cm]`	Scalar	Waveguide Length [cm]
`t [cm]`	Scalar	Thickness [cm]
`+/- % Variation of χi for Sampling`	Scalar	Optimization Search Window (%) For example, if the Initial Chi value is 100 and the % Variation defined is 15, the Sampling Range will be define between 85 - 115.
`Number of Design Points`	Integer	This value defines the number of sample points or design points you which to run. It takes the Sample Range, previously defined, and simply divides by this value.
`% Tolerance to Check`	Scalar	Convergence Tolerance (%)

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
`Pyramid Horn: Waveguide + Aperature`	Implicit Body	Generates the final 3D manifold by boolean-subtracting the inner hollow volume from the external horn-waveguide shell based on the calculated slant lengths P_E and P_H.
