Abstract
Based on the works of Greve and Rahmat-Samii, the electromagnetic (EM) performance of the reflector antenna with non-uniform surface errors along radius is further addressed. A mathematical model is developed to describe the weighting function for the non-uniform surface errors along radius. Then, some discussions on the peak gain loss (PGL) and the first sidelobe level increase (SLLI) caused by the non-uniform surface errors are presented and several significant radiation characteristics of the reflector with non-uniform errors are pointed out. Last, based on the proposed model, the weighted root mean square (RMS) value of the surface errors is produced to evaluate the EM performance and several representative cases with different non-uniform errors are presented with good results. Results show that the weighted RMS value should be taken into account for a better quality evaluation of the reflector surface.
