Reflection coefficient at the feed of a radome-covered reflector antenna
Abstract
The reflection coefficient at the feed of a paraboloidal reflector antenna covered with a paraboloidal radome is evaluated by the power-coupling theorem. An asymptotic value of the reflection-coefficient expression leads to a simple physical interpretation of the result. The asymptotic value compares favorably with that obtained by numerical integration.
