Structure scattering of feed antenna in a dual reflector antenna system

Teh-Hong Lee;Walter D. Burnside

2007 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium
Year: 2007 | Conference Paper |
In this paper, the impact of the structure scattering between the horn and subreflector of a Cassegrain reflector antenna system has been presented. Typical design steps involve (1) feed design that has very good VSWR and (2) use the far field pattern to compute the illumination on the subreflector and subsequently the main reflector to determine the far field pattern of the whole antenna system.Show More

Year: 2001 | Conference Paper |
This paper focuses on the requirements for antenna and/or RCS measurement systems. It is shown that traditional methods are not satisfactory because they do not take into account the impact of errors on critical measurements to be performed in the range. In order for a facility to perform well, the range stray signals are required to be smaller in magnitude for wider angles relative to the desired...Show More

Enhanced compact range reflector concept using an R-card fence: two-dimensional case

M.S.A. Mahmoud;Teh-Hong Lee;W.D. Burnside

IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation
Year: 2001 | Volume: 49, Issue: 3 | Journal Article |
Compact range reflector edge diffraction can be reduced by using an R-card fence. Well-designed R-cards (resistive sheets) placed in front of reflector edges reduce the field variations in the test zone. The keys to successful R-card design are proper choices of both the geometry and resistance profile. In this paper, a two-dimensional (2-D) version of the problem is attacked to show the basic con...Show More

A novel stable beamwidth, ultrawide-bandwidth low-scattering antenna is presented. This antenna is a modified version of the conducting slotline bowtie hybrid (SBH) antenna with resistive sheets (Rcards) introduced into the guiding structure design.

IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation
Year: 1997 | Volume: 45, Issue: 8 | Journal Article |
Pyramidal- and wedge-absorber materials are used extensively in anechoic measurement chambers to attenuate stray signals. Typical absorber layouts result in large absorber walls in which the absorber tips and bases are roughly aligned in the same plane. Such a quasi-periodic configuration produces a strong coherent specular reflection which dominates the absorber scattered field. Based on the mult...Show More

The performance trade-off between serrated edge and blended rolled edge compact range reflectors is investigated. The edge diffracted fields which contribute to stray signals in the quiet zone have to be minimized. Consequently, an iterative approach has been developed to design serrated edges such that the edge diffracted rays from the serrations can be kept as far away as possible from the desir...Show More

IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 1995 Digest
Year: 1995 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (2)
Ground penetration radar (GPR) requires not only target detection but also identification. Many such targets have simple geometry and their late time impulse responses are dominated by only a few complex natural resonances (CNR). An example is the detection of unexploded ordnance. These CNR's represent an attractive way for target identification. The low SNR, spurious poles and multiple targets pr...Show More

Microstrip antennas have been employed in airborne and spacecraft systems because of their low profile and conformal nature. Recently, they are being used for other commercial applications such as GPS. Most of the antenna design schemes assume that the microstrip elements are mounted on an infinitely large ground plane, therefore, the diffraction from the edges of the ground plane is usually negle...Show More

IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation
Year: 1994 | Volume: 42, Issue: 3 | Journal Article |
Cited by: Papers (22)
The presence of stray signals in an antenna measurement range can cause errors in the measured patterns. In order to measure low sidelobe antennas in an antenna range, the stray signals in the range should be very small (at least 8-10 dB below the sidelobe level). It may not be possible to achieve such low level stray signals in a real world antenna range. Thus, alternate methods for reducing thes...Show More
