Abstract

The effect of source angular size on the measurement of antenna half-power beamwidth using extraterrestrial sources is analyzed for a circularly symmetric Gaussian antenna pattern and a circular uniform disk source. Results are presented in the form of universal curves which can be used conveniently in practical applications. The curves may be also used in the determination of the angular size of the disk source.
