Abstract

Analytical expressions have been obtained for the ray-geometry parameters on the general paraboloid of revolution (GPOR) using a novel technique known as the geodesic constant method. These ray parameters are in a one-parameter form and can be readily employed in high-frequency EM antenna scattering problems. As an example, the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD) mutual admittance results are presented for two antennas located on the GPOR arbitrarily, in three dimensions
