Abstract :
A capable design procedure for shaped reflector and feed system for contoured beam antennas is introduced. A curriculum activity is described to give students a hands-on experience on an undergoing project implementing the CAD tools currently being used by the big players in the industry that enhances the design time. Hence, it is aimed to help students beware of the considerations necessary in a full subsystem design. And also the methods underlying in the CAD tools have been briefly described for the interested researchers and lecturers.
