Cassegrain-Antenna Gain Improvement

Modified antenna feed with dual-shaped subreflectors yields 10-to20-percent improvement in efficiency of existing large-aperture paraboloidal or Cassegrainian antennas. Such offset dual-shaped subreflector (DSS) feed brings gain of existing paraboloid or Cassegrain antennas up to that of reflector antennas of more recent design at cost considerably lower than for reshaping existing reflecting surfaces. Mathematical procedures developed for synthesizing nearly optimum shapes for DSS elements of new feeds.

Efficient Reflector Antenna

Efficient antenna applicable to systems where main reflector diameter is at least 500 wavelengths. Design provides 2-to-3-dB improvement in gain divided by noise temperature (G/T) over centerline symmetric designs. Performance improvement largely due to clear-aperture, off-axis dual-reflector design.
