Abstract :
An approach is presented in which the time an RF signal is delayed in propagating through a Cassegrainian antenna can be determined. The approach is based on the recognition that both the group delay (time) and the envelope delay (time) can be obtained from the antenna transfer function. Two antenna transfer functions are derived. The delay time under various antenna operating conditions is discussed.
