Abstract
In this paper, a conical horn antenna has been designed for Ultra-Wideband ap-plications by loading its section with a metamaterial. The work aims first to compare results obtained by the wavelet-moment method to a simulation performed using HFSS. Secondly the conical horn is loaded with a very thin layer of metamaterial to enhance the radiation pattern and the bandwidth performance of the conical horn antenna and reduce the size of the antenna. The operating bandwidth of the proposed antenna is in the range of 10{13 GHz. The results obtained from HFSS and moment method are in good agreement.
