DSS-13 S-Band Design Optimization Using The Focal-Plane Method
Abstract
In this paper, the Focal-Plane (Complex-Conjugate Phase-Matching) Method is used to select the appropriate gain and location of a feed for S-Band (2.295 GHz) operation of DSS-13, the new NSA/JPL Deep Space Network (DSN) 34-m Beam WaveGuide (BWG) antenna. It is found empirically that the Focal-Plane Method gives a better design in terms of the G/T figure than previous S-Band designs.
