Abstract
Microwave performance testing of the new Deep Space Station (DSS)-24 34-mdiameter antenna was carried out during the summer of 1994. E–ciency measurements were made at the 8.45-GHz (X-band) and 32-GHz (Ka-band) frequencies both at the antenna Cassegrain (f1) and beam-waveguide (f3) focal points. In addition, the antenna f3 efficiencies were measured on the DSS-24 operational 2.295-GHz (S-band) and 8.45-GHz feeds. This article presents the efficiency determinations as a function of elevation angle along with a corresponding error analysis of the measurements. Peak measured gains and efficiencies are tabulated for all frequencies.
