A method for determining the minimum elliptical beam of a satellite antenna
Abstract
The minimum elliptical beam of a satellite antenna is studied. A method based on a search for a minimum elliptical beam over all possible ranges of all necesary parameters that specify the elliptical beam was developed. The method and the computer program that implements the method are described. It also gives some examples.
