Abstract :
The letter describes in statistical terms the gain of randomly distorted reflector antennas. Formulas are presented for the mean value, the standard deviation and the probability density function of the antenna gain. The influence of the RMS surface error and the correlation interval on the statistical distribution is indicated.
