Out-of-band reflector antenna model

During this program, a flexible, interactive program for Monte Carlo analysis of near-field and far-field fields of a prime focal fed out-of-band paraboloidal reflector antenna was developed and used for numerical simulation. The simulations are not sensitive to frequency only averaging. The distribution of the modal coefficient phases has the greatest effect on the numerically simulated patterns. The numerical simulations also indicate the validity of near-field ensemble measurements in far-field pattern prediction and the role of near-field correlation terms in these patterns.
