Inhalt:
This work presents a formulation for shaping the main reflector of a dual reflector antenna designed to offer an omnidirectional coverage with an arbitrary radiation pattern in the vertical plane. The subreflector is generated by an axisdisplaced ellipse and the main reflector is shaped to achieve a prescribed far-field radiation pattern. The shaping procedure is based on geometrical optics (GO) principles. The GO shaping results are validated by analysis provided by the accurate method of moments technique.
