Abstract :
Amplitude patterns for parabolic antennas 82 cm in diameter with compensating subreflectors and with a standard hyperboloid have been computed using the Kirchhoff-Huygens-Silver integration method. Patterns at 3 mm wavelength are illustrated together with phase and amplitude patterns for the subreflectors. The predicted improvements at 1 and 3 mm are discussed.
