Analytical techniques for reduction of computational effort in reflector antenna analysis
Abstract
Techniques used for computing the radiation integral in reflector antenna analysis are briefly reviewed. The techniques discussed include numerical approaches, such as Monte Carlo multidimensional integration and the Ludwig method (1968), asymptotic solutions, expansion techniques, and the sampling approach. It is pointed out that none of the techniques discussed provides optimum results in the full angular range 0-180 deg, and consequently different techniques are generally used in different angular sectors.
