RADIOMETRIC FEED FOR HAYSTACK

Abstract

This technical note describes a series of radiometric feeds in the 5. 0 Gcps, 8.0 Gcps and 15.5 Gcps bands which were constructed and installed into the Haystack Cassegrain antenna system. Measured data are presented and also used to calculate the percentage of power intercepted by the subreflector and also the Cassegrain antenna aperture efficiency.
