Reflector Antennas Design and Analysis Software

Reflector antennas are commonly used in the satellite applications and need careful design for obtaining high efficiency values. Especially multibeam and array fed reflectors require multiple iterations to obtain the optimal dimensions, which could be time consuming with the full wave simulations. This paper presents a software developed using gaussian beam analysis for quick initial design of the reflector antennas. Multiple feed types have been discussed, including single horn feeds, array feeds and feed clusters for multiple beams.
