- Vol. 54, Iss: 4, pp 633-640
TLDR
The theoretical basis of antenna tolerance theory is reviewed in this paper, where the axial loss of gain and pattern degradation as a function of the reflector surface rms error and the surface spatial correlation are discussed.Abstract:
The theoretical basis of antenna tolerance theory is reviewed. Formulas are presented for the axial loss of gain and the pattern degradation as a function of the reflector surface rms error and the surface spatial correlation. Methods of determining these quantities by astronomical or ground-based electrical measurements are described. Correlation between the theoretical predictions and the performance of actual large antenna structures is presented.read more

The Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) : a new submillimeter facility for southern skies
TL;DR: APEX, the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment, has been successfully commissioned and is operational as discussed by the authors, which is located at 5107 m altitude on Llano de Chajnantor in the Chilean High Andes, on what is considered one of the world's outstanding sites for submillimeter astronomy.

The diffraction theory of aberrations
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the development of the subject is traced from the early researches of Airy on an aberration-free image and the advances made in recent years are discussed in detail; these mainly concern the effects of small aberrations, tolerance criteria, and the asymptotic treatment of diffraction problems.

Tolerance theory of large antennas
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of systematic and random errors on the radiation pattern of antennas representable by a field distribution over an aperture, such as paraboloidal reflectors and large arrays of small elements, were investigated.

Effect of arbitrary phase errors on the gain and beamwidth characteristics of radiation pattern
TL;DR: In this article, simple expressions have been obtained for predicting the maximum loss in antenna gain when the peak value of the aperture phase deviation is known, and relations have also been established such that the maximum change in the main-lobe beamwidth can be predicted from the knowledge of the amplitude distribution function and the peak phase deviation.
