Abstract :
A physical optics (PO) and physical theory of diffraction (PTD) analysis of symmetric and offset dual reflector antennas is performed. It is shown that in most cases PO gives sufficient accuracy, but the PTD correction can be of importance to determine the depolarization, especially if the subreflector edge taper is low.
