Antenna structure with relatively offset reflectors for electromagnetic detection and space telecommunication equipment

TLDR
In this article, an antenna structure includes an at least partly parabolic main reflector and an auxiliary reflector, the two reflectors having confronting concave surfaces and lying respectively above and below a horizontal plane including a common focus of these surfaces.
Abstract
An antenna structure includes an at least partly parabolic main reflector and an auxiliary reflector of generally similar configuration, the two reflectors having confronting concave surfaces and lying respectively above and below a horizontal plane including a common focus of these surfaces. A corrugated horn illuminating the auxiliary reflector extends at the level of the latter, with a substantially horizontal axis, between vertical planes passing through the vertex of the parabolic main-reflector surface and through the common focus; in one embodiment, the horn forms with the auxiliary reflector a unitary assembly closed on all sides except for an upper aperture facing the main reflector.

Compact scanning beam antenna feed arrangement

TL;DR: In this paper, a feed arrangement for compact scanning beam antennas is proposed, which comprises a linear phased array of small feed elements, which form an approximate line source that radiates a wedge-shaped cylindrical beam toward a subreflector, which is shaped to focus the beam to a point source which then produces a spherical wavefront.
