Microwave reflector antennas - A review
Abstract
The present work describes principal criteria for classifying reflector antennas and identifies some factors underlying their design. Design objectives include high efficiency or pattern control, polarization purity, multiple beam formation, scanning by feed or reflector movement, and improved prediction methods. The essential characteristics of four types of hybrid mode feed are summarized, discussing the use of corrugated waveguide, narrow-angle corrugated, 90-degree corrugated horn, and dielectric cone feed.
