Go synthesis of offset dual reflectors
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of a dual offset reflector system with uniform aperture phase is formulated using mathematically exact equations under the assumptions of geometrical optics and demonstrated the existence of numerical solutions to problems of practical significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geometrical optics design of reflectors using complex coordinates
TL;DR: In this paper, the mathematics of reflector design under the geometrical optics approximation is treated using complex coordinates, where conformal transformations occur naturally in the new formalism and their application to reflector designs appears to have great potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase and power density distributions on plane apertures of reflector antennas
F. Brickell,B S Westcott +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of a dual reflector system to produce given aperture phase and power distributions when illuminated by a point source of prescribed power density is shown to depend on the solution of a particular partial differential equation of the Monge-Ampere type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual offset reflectors shaped for zero cross-polarisation and prescribed aperture illumination
B S Westcott,F. Brickell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of shaping dual offset reflectors, fed by a linearly polarised rotationally symmetric feed horn, to produce a parallel beam over a non-circular aperture with zero cross-polarisation was considered under the assumptions of geometrical optics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reflector design for two-variable beam shaping in the hyperbolic case
F. Brickell,B S Westcott +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design of a reflector capable of producing a generalized two-variable beam shape when illuminated by a point source is investigated under the geometric-optics approximation.
