Collapsible corrugated horn antennaA horn antenna that is readily collapsible while not in use is described. A number of different sized annular metal rings are arranged in a sequence such that each ring is larger than the one that precedes it in the sequence. A number of thin flexible electrically conductive members attach successive metal rings together physically and connect them together electrically. Each flexible conductive member is attached to make electrical contact between the outside surface of a metal ring and the inside surface of an adjacent metal ring in the sequence.
