An Elliptical-Beam Reflector Antenna forSatellite Communication System

An offset elliptical reflector antenna suitable for satellite application was designed and investigated when it was fed by a rectangular horn partially filled.with a dielectric..The.reflector antenna exhibits high gain, low cross polarization. low sidelines and an elliptical beam. Al- though this study has been carried out in view of possible satellite applications, it is clear that this. antenna. is also suitable for use in radar antennas.
