Abstract :
This paper presents a new shaped reflector antenna for wide beam azimuthal patterns and a cosecant squared elevation pattern. Elliptical strips instead of parabolic strips are used in horizontal planes of the reflector surface to achieve this purpose. Simulation and measurement results of the shaped reflector fed by a ridged horn antenna are presented.
