Abstract

The large difference between the dominant sidelobe levels in the asymmetric and symmetric plane radiation patterns of the short-focal-length offset paraboloids is minimized by illuminating the reflector with a prime-focus tilted matched feed. The amplitude of the asymmetric mode (TE/sub 21/) component in the matched feed is numerically evaluated for achieving an optimum peak cross-polar level. Effect of the feed tilt on the reflector efficiency is also indicated.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
