  • Abstract
    The beam shift and degradation of a paraboloidal reflector with an offset feed is analyzed by the scalar plane wave theory. Higher order coma terms are included with the feed at its optimum axial position. The beam characteristics for a tapered circularly symmetric illumination are presented. The range of validity of the approximate analysis is indicated.
