  • Abstract
    Algorithms for shaping offset dual reflector antenna surfaces are presented which use small areas of optimally tilted conic sections reported by Y. Mizugutch for starting up a numerical synthesis of reflector surfaces. A new ray ratio squared method is described for the precise control of antenna aperture amplitude distributions.
