  • Abstract
    The inherent spherical aberration of a spherical reflector antenna is corrected by using an auxiliary Gregorian reflector feed system that rotates about the center of curvature of the reflector. Tests at both X - and K -band frequencies demonstrate feasibility of the design for wide-angle scanning.
