Abstract :
In this paper bolometric detectors applied in conjunction with reflector antenna feed horns that support multiple modes are studied. As an example, the preliminary design of the Planck telescope is used to calculate both the receiving pattern of the feed element as well as the receiving pattern of the telescope.
