Abstract :
A full-wave numerical study of a 2D model of dual-reflector PACO (parabolic subreflector and conical reflector) antenna is performed. Analysis tool is two coupled singular electric field integral equations (SEFIE) discretized with the method of discrete singularities (MDS), for both polarizations. MDS is numerical method similar to the Nystrom method however adapted to zero-thickness perfectly-electric-conducting (PEC) scatterers. Numerical results are shown.
