Abstract
A series solution to the specular point determination problem is presented for concave three-dimensional surfaces. The coefficients of the series can be found in closed form. The polynomial nature of the solution allows for rapid evaluation of points. The series solution is derived for application to the aperture plane integration method of reflector antenna analysis and synthesis. Examples of utilizing the solution in these problems are given
