Abstract

This paper introduces a Design of dual reflector Cassegrain feed system antenna with suitable design aspects like smaller reflector and sub reflector diameter for higher sub reflector efficiency, lower Cassegrain blockage losses and desired illumination taper. Design parameters are computed from the simple and explicit analytical formulas. Design example is represented to differentiate the efficacy of the approach.
