THE APERTURE EFFICIENCY OF SOME HORN-FED PARABOLOIDAL REFLECTORS

Abstract

The optimum aperture efficiency of a reflector antenna is calculated for the cases where it is fed by one of three horn feeds of common occurrence. The effects, on the aperture efficiency, of varying the radiation characteristics of these feeds are also determined.
