Theoretical Antenna Analyses.

Abstract

The results of the analytical work for the Antennas task of the FY 1979 Mission-Oriented Investigation and Experimentation (MOIE) program are summarized. The radiation pattern computation of a 46.8 lambda diameter paraboloidal reflector antenna is compared with experimental results. The pattern analysis accounts for the feed blockage and feed-strut scatter. Good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results exists for wide-angle sidelobes. The diffraction levels from a half-plane edge and a rounded edge were computed, and good correlation with experimental results is indicated. The radiation patterns of a monopole mounted on a circular and a rectangular ground plane were also computed. (Author)
