Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. For a given feed illumination and desired aperture field distribution, an exact formulation of the problem of simultaneously synthesizing the shapes of the main and subreflectors exists in terms of a set of nonlinear first-order differential equations. A numerical approach to solving these equations is reported.<>
