Optimisation of feed position and improved profile mapping of a reflector antenna from microwave holographic measurements
Abstract
A method for optimising the feed position of a prime focus reflector antenna from phase and amplitude recordings of the radiated field is given. Experimental results illustrate the improved radiation pattern and the detailed profile map of the reflector attained after feed position correction.
