Antenna Wavefront Problems

Abstract

By means of a vector notation for surfaces, relations are derived among an incident wavefront, reflector, and reflected wavefront. A method is introduced for evaluating the deviation of a wavefront surface from a plane. A number of problems, including an analysis of the wavefront from Foster Scanner antenna, are included in order to indicate the simplicity and utility of the analysis.
