  • Abstract
    The use of an hourglass reflector phased array is proposed for electronic despin of the communications antenna on a spin stabilized satellite. An analysis based on physical optics approximations is given, and calculated results presented for both half and full reflector cases. Measured patterns for a prototype with one feed element are compared with calculated results.
