  • Abstract
    The radiating mechanisms of a reflector antenna system are discussed. Means of computing the various component fields are given, including aperture radiation, direct feed radiation, and diffracted radiation. An offset parabolic reflector antenna system fed with a corrugated horn is treated as an example. Means of reduction of the undesired components of radiation are suggested.
