Radiation characteristics of a 2D parabolic microwave reflector antenna analyzed by the complex source-dual series approach

The aim of our paper is to obtain reference data for the relatively large and realistic reflector antenna problems. Previously this has been done for the circular cylindrical reflector antennas, and here it is similarly obtained for the parabolic surface case. Directive feed pattern is modeled by using the complex source-point method. The problem is solved by the analytical regularization technique for the E-polarization case. Relative accuracy of the results and sample radiation patterns are presented in the figures.
