  • Abstract
    A method is presented for determining the gain of an antenna from analysis of backscatter data of the antenna. This approach is different from those which have been presented in the past because it accounts for the presence of resonances which can occur in the antenna during a backscatter measurement. In particular, this type of resonance appears in the backscatter measurement of symmetric reflector antennas. This technique is applied to determine the gain of a Ka-band Cassegrain antenna and an X-band prime focus-fed antenna
