Abstract
This article describes the application of the microwave holography technique to DSS 13. A companion article in this issue (Rochblatt) provides a detailed explanation of the methodology. The project goal of obtaining a rigging-angle surface rms error of 0.43 mm or better was met. The JPL-developed holography algorithms enabled a reduction of the surface error of the DSS-13 antenna from the optically set 0.83-mm axial rms error down to 0.40-mm rms, providing an additional 4.1 dB of performance at 32 GHz.
