Primary-focus operation of shaped dual-reflector antennas
Abstract
Primary-focus operation of reflectors designed for optimum performance in a shaped dual-reflector configuration is considered. Provided the reflector diameter is less than 100 wavelengths, only a small loss in efficiency is suffered in comparison with a paraboloidal antenna.
