Cassegrain Reflector Antenna Design Guide

This paper presents the procedure for the design of Cassegrain reflector antenna. It contains theoretical consideration and foundation, as well as procedure for design in the WIPL-D software suite.

Cassegrain reflector antenna consists of two parts: feeding conical horn with hyperbolic sub-reflector, and main parabolic reflector. Thus, the design procedure is approximately divided into two steps corresponding to the design of single part.

Finally, the app note shows WIPL-D Pro model at 25.5 GHz, its radiation pattern and the simulation details. Simulation is carried out in seconds at inexpensive everyday PC.
