Abstract
Modern reflector theory and practice, with emphasis on the recent past are reviewed. Included are a brief historical review and performance definitions for the nonspecialist. Special sections are devoted to shaped multiple reflectors, reflector surface metrology, and reflectors for the next decade and beyond. In spite of decreasing budgets for scientific, commercial, and military space programs, the 1990s promise to be a true golden age for the reflector antenna art
