Abstract :
A bistatic Gregorian confocal dual reflector antenna for a bomb detection radar system had been presented. The beamwidth is suitable to uniquely illuminate a single human body at 50m away from the antenna. The dual reflector can be used for both transmit and receive simultaneously. The Configuration-1 behaves better than Configuration-2 in terms of directivity whereas it become worst in terms of crosspolar levels.
