Abstract :
The program transforms the numerically expressed phase variations in a plane electromagnetic wave over a circular aperture into the radiation pattern at infinity for directions in the region of that normal to the aperture plane. The program is of use in evaluating the radiation pattern of paraboloidal radio reflectors which have some known imperfections in their surface.
