Figure 1. 9 Conical Horn menu.


The radomes will be placed on the origin of coordinates to make easier its geometrical definition, so the horn is created 10 centimeters below it on the Z axis. Keep the most of parameters in the Conical Horn panel by default except the Z-Position that must be set to -100. Click on Add button to insert the horn before closing the panel.
