  • Abstract
    The design of a dual-reflector antenna that focuses an inclined incident plane wave to a point away from the axis of symmetry of the reflector is discussed. A useful application of such a system would be as a multibeam antenna for use in communication via satellites. Curves of path-length errors are presented for the feed positioned on the axis of symmetry, and the effects of refocusing are shown.
