Abstract
This paper details the theoretical and experimental study of a 1.5-meter offset dualshaped reflector at 31.4 GHz. An efficiency of 84.5 percent, a likely new record for reflector antennas, was ascertained through careful measurements. For larger low noise reflector systems, a 2- to 3-dB improvement in G/T performance over the state-of-the-art ultra-low-noise ground stations and 90 percent or better aperture efficiency now appear feasible.
