Abstract :
This paper presents the double offset antenna with a symmetrical spherical main reflector, that is a spherical cap, as a low cost configuration for antennas to be used in fixed satellite service ground stations. Electrical performance results for a 3.6 m diameter equivalent aperture antenna designed to work in the FSS Ku band are presented
