Abstract :
This paper deals with the calculation of the complete radiation pattern of a parabolic reflector antenna by using the induced currents method and the geometrical theory of diffraction in different regions, extended in particular to the case of a loaded rim. A package of computer programs is presented and a set of results, showing the possibility of improved radiation performances, is given.
