Analysis of a Shaped Dual Offset Reflector Antenna-I : Subreflector Analysis

수정곡면 옵셉 복 반사판 안테나의 복사특성 해석-I : 부반사판 해석

The radiation characteristics of the subreflector of a shaped dual offset reflector antenna are analyzed by the uniform theory of diffraction(UTD). The discrete shaped subreflector profile is transformed into an analytic function by the global interpolation. To obtain the first and the second derivative terms on the surface, the local interpolation method is used. The reflection point needed for the geometrical optics(GO) is found by using the multi-dimensional function minimizing algorithm. The radiation pattern of a Gregorian type shaped subreflector is presented. The characteristics of the radiation patterns for various feed edge taperings and frequencies are examined.
