RF design and predicted performance for a future 34-meter shaped dual-reflector antenna system using the common aperture X-S feedhorn
Abstract
The Networks Consolidation Program (NCP) will utilize 34-meter shaped dual-reflector Cassegrain antennas. The shaping calculations, the X/S-band feedhorn to be used, and the predicted RF performance of this antenna system are discussed.
