Abstract :
SABOR (software de analisis de bocinas y reflectores) is an antenna-analysis approach for the computation of horn- and reflector-antenna performance. The program covers and expands topics already developed with other software. The program can analyze almost any kind of horn (E and H pyramidal horns, circular horns, corrugated horns). The current configuration of SABOR can also analyze centered and offset parabolic reflectors, dual-offset Cassegrain and Gregorian reflectors, and centered Cassegrain systems. For feeding reflectors, the program allows use of the classical cosq pattern and any of the horn mentioned above. Usage of real horns improves the accuracy of computed efficiencies and the simulation of the cross-polar radiation
