A LINE SOURCE FEED FOR A SPHERICAL REFLECTOR

Abstract

The electrical design of a UHF, dual polarized, high power line source feed for a 1,000 foot diameter spherical reflector is described. Topics covered include basic theory, effects of structural design, tolerance, cross-polarization coupling, electrical tests, pattern calculations, VSWR, high power breakdown, spillover, and bandwidth.
