S-band aperture efficiency of the DSS 13 26-meter antenna with the S-X common aperture feed
Abstract
Measurements of the S-band performance of the DSS 13 26-meter antenna, equipped with the second generation S-X common aperture feed, are reported. Aperture efficiency and overall antenna gain results are compared with predicted values. The elevation dependence of the aperture efficiency is reported.
