Dual reflector synthesis for specified aperture power and phase
Abstract
A dual reflector is synthesized to achieve a specified aperture power and phase distribution, allowing generally shaped radiation patterns to be achieved using a simple feed. Geometrical optics is used to shape the reflectors. A separate physical optics analysis confirms the success of this synthesis.
