The far field intensities due to a conical horn excited in its dominant mode have been calculated in closed form from an acoustical analogue and with the aid of Smythe's vector diffraction theory. The theoretical results have been compared with experimental observations with fair agreement between the two for flare (semi-vertical angle of cones) angles up to 35°.
