Analysis of radome covered circular reflectors by complex source-dual series approach

Radiation from a two dimensional reflector antenna covered by a cylindrical radome is analyzed by complex source-dual series approach. It is only performed for the electrically polarized incident field. The approach is not based on the moment method but on the analytical-numerical type regularization technique. The method gives the exact solution with any desired accuracy and the directivity of the feed antenna can be modelled by using the complex source method. In numerical results, the far field radiation patterns are obtained and the effect of the radome is verified.<>
