Abstract :
The analysis and experimental evaluation of a reflecting beam-waveguide feed for an earth station antenna using two plane and two off-set paraboloidal reflectors is presented. Taking the mode matching theory in an optical resonator, the electromagnetic behavior of this feed is fully discussed. The measured RF performance of the earth station antenna using this feed is evaluated.
