            Abstract : 
The equations and stepwise procedure of a new synthesis-by-ray tracing method are presented. The usefulness of the technique is demonstrated by synthesizing an offset dual-reflector antenna, and a dual-reflector feed for a spherical reflector. The synthesis method can be extended to synthesize, e.g. contoured beams
