Advanced communications systems operating in the microwave band involve a wide use of horn antennas of different modifications. Horn antennas are applied as separate antennas, as feeds of reflectors, and elements of antenna arrays. However, the horn antennas most frequently used in practice and conventionally called pyramidal horns, in the view of the authors can be more accurately called wedge-shaped or wedge-like horn antennas: wedge is a more general variant of polyhedron, which is the basic component for designing the geometry of such horn antennas.
