Final Technical Report, 1 January 1970 to 31 March 1971

Abstract

The boresight error of a practical three-dimensional antenna-radome system is analyzed by the Plane Wave Spectrum-Surface Integration technique. The Plane Wave Spectrum formulation offers a very efficient method for calculating the near field of a large circular aperture antenna. The rest of the antenna-radome analysis is carried out by using plane wave transmission coefficients through the radome and employing a surface integration technique to calculate the pattern of the antenna in the presence of the radome.
