Abstract :
The shaping of offset dual reflector surfaces using geometrical optics can be placed on a firm mathematical basis and solutions can be found for a number of problems hitherto thought to be insoluble except by approximate methods. Examples are given for tapered conical feed cones and circular output aportures with uniform phase and power distributions.
