Abstract
Compact ranges using dual parabolic cylindrical reflectors are investigated, and the dependence of the aperture field on the feed pattern and system geometrical parameters is studied. A uniformity factor is defined to indicate the aperture field uniformity and the significance of the diffracted fields is explored. Offset configurations are also considered and studied. It is shown that their feed location and orientation can be optimized to minimize the geometrical-optics cross polarization. The effects of offset angle on the edge diffraction and aperture shape are also studied.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
