  • Abstract
    A backfire mode zigzag antenna is analysed using the method of moments. The effects of the filament length of the zigzag on the -10 dB beam width is calculated. The zigzag antenna is applied to a symmetrical paraboloidal reflector antenna as a primary feed. The reflector antenna shows a relatively constant gain in the communication satellite frequency band 12.25-2.75 GHz.
