  • Abstract
    The retrieval of the surface profile of a reflector antenna is an important issue, mainly for the radioastronomical ones. A new technique based on the singular value decomposition is proposed here to retrieve the reflector profile starting from a small set of far-field data. A number of examples for axis-symmetric deformations assess the procedure.
