A horn antenna is also commonly called a waveguide horn, microwave horn, or simply a horn. Its flared metal structure transitions electromagnetic energy from a waveguide into free space, or collects incoming energy into a waveguide. The preferred term often depends on the application, frequency range, polarization, gain requirements, and the surrounding RF system.
