Abstract :
Using the geometrical theory of diffraction (GTD), a method of calculating the power coupling between closely spaced back-to-back paraboloidal antennas is presented. The method is illustrated by considering the coupling between two identical front-fed symmetric paraboloids, each of which is fed by a TE11mode circular waveguide.
