GAIN AND PATTERN MEASUREMENTS OF LARGE ASPECT RATIO REFLECTORS

Abstract

The report summarizes the results of absolute gain and radiation pattern measurements on two large aspect ratio reflectors with various primary feed systems. The width-to-height ratios of the reflectors approximated 7.2 to 1 and the focal lengths were approximately one-quarter of the large dimension. The antennas were polarized with the primary feed E-field parallel to the large dimension of the reflectors.
