Abstract :
A feed array for a rotationally symmetric reflector antenna is presented. The directivity of the system achieves the central station class 2 (CS-2) radiation pattern envelope for sector beams, which is the most restrictive mask in the European standard for fixed radio systems point-to-multipoint antennas.
