A feedhorn, a radio wave receiving converter, and an antenna that can be
reduced in size and have high reliability can be obtained. A feedhorn
portion constitutes part of a converter, and includes a chassis body with
a waveguide having an opening, a dielectric as a dielectric member
connected to the opening, and a waterproof cover as a protective member.
The waterproof cover covers the dielectric and contacts (tightly
attached) to a portion of the surface of the dielectric (in the
dielectric, the portion of the surface away from waveguide). The
waterproof cover is formed of a material having substantially the same
electric characteristics (permittivity and dielectric loss tangent) as
the material forming the dielectric.
