The directivity properties of unfolding reflector antennas
Abstract
Numerical results are presented on the radiation pattern and directive gain of unfolding parabolic antennas of umbrella type with different geometries. The optimal location of the feed in such antennas is determined for axial radiation as well as for deflected rays. Numerical and experimental results are compared, and recommendations on the choice of geometry for such antennas are presented.
