Abstract
This paper focuses on the use of sophisticated reflector antenna systems applied to low-cost applications. In particular, we consider single and dual offset systems with a parabolic main reflector. This permits the use of the same main reflector mould in both single and dual reflector configurations, greatly reducing the cost. Also, cross polarization effects of conventional, low-cost feeds are included.
