Abstract :
Parabolic antenna design charts which can be used to easily determine the design parameters of radar antennas are described. Parameters used are normalized feed dimensions, F/D ratio, aperture blockage, normalized beam widths and the maximum side lobe level. Discussed topics include chart construction, a sample problem and a proposed antenna simulator.
