Abstract :
This contribution describes our recent efforts in the research and design of special prime-focus feeds for reflector antennas intended for space communication using the Moon Bounce technique. Two contrasting structural designs are presented, illustrating the concept of multiband / multipolarization signal propagation. Besides space communication, these feeds may also be used in terrestrial radar and sensor systems.
