Abstract :
The letter gives a procedure to calculate the scattered fields produced by cylindrical struts of arbitrary cross-section in reflector antennas. This procedure is based on the determination by the moment method, under certain approximations, of the induced currents on the strut surface. Experimental measurements show the accuracy of the proposed technique.
