  • Abstract
    This work presents the shaping of axis-symmetric omnidirectional dual-reflector antennas. The shaping procedure is based on the consecutive concatenation of conic sections, in order to provide a uniform phase distribution together with a prescribed amplitude distribution over the antenna cylindrical aperture under geometrical optics (GO) principles. To illustrate the shaping procedure, an axis-displaced Cassegrain is designed to provide a uniform aperture illumination. The GO shaping results are validated using accurate method-of-moments analysis.
