TLDR
In this paper, a Cassegrain antenna system with a flat dielectric plate radome having a thickness of one-half wavelength at a frequency of operation is described. But the radome does not have an electrically conductive grid disposed on an inside surface thereof to permit perpendicularly polarized energy rays to pass there through.
Abstract
A Cassegrain antenna system (50) includes a flat dielectric plate radome (52) having a thickness of one-half wavelength at a frequency of operation. The plate has an electrically conductive grid (54) disposed on an inside surface thereof to permit perpendicularly polarized energy rays to pass therethrough. A parabolic twist reflector (70) is spaced from the radome, and includes a dielectric substrate (74) having a thickness equivalent to one-quarter wavelength at a frequency of operation and having formed on an interior surface thereof an array (72) of conductive strips oriented by 45 degrees relative to the incident ray polarization. An RF housing (60) including a plurality of RF feed elements (62A-62I) is located at the focal region and the elements spaced by a single beamwidth.
