Title :
Design and performance of a dual-reflector imaging array antenna
Author_Institution :
ERA Technology Ltd., Leatherhead, UK
Abstract :
A brief discussion of the operating principle of a two-dimensional configuration is detailed. A subreflector shaping technique is described which offers improved antenna aperture efficiency. Various aspects of a three-dimensional antenna are discussed, including analysis techniques, polarisation properties and sidelobe performance
