GO synthesis of offset dual reflectors

The synthesis of a dual offset reflector system with uniform aperture phase is formulated employing mathematically exact equations under the assumptions of geometrical optics. The existence of numerical solutions to problems of practical significance is demonstrated. It is noted that the key to the numerical method is the ability to solve the Monge-Ampere equation as a boundary value problem. The complexity of the analysis is shown to be no greater than that involved in single reflector synthesis, and both reflectors are produced simultaneously.
