Abstract :
A method for designing an offset-fed parabolic cylinder antenna which has sidelobes of -50 dB or less over a 15-percent frequency band is presented. The designed antenna was built and tested, and shown to have approximately -46-dB sidelobes, although over a slightly different band than designed for.
