  • Abstract
    An important and frequently used parameter in the design of a feed for a reflector antenna is the spillover loss. A set of spillover curves is presented for several common feeds, namely circular waveguides with TE11 or TE21 excitations, rectangular guides for the monopulse application, etc. The difference between two common methods of normalizing the feed input power is also discussed
