Abstract

In support of the Mariner 1973 X-band experiment, it is necessary to implement a dual-frequency microwave feed system for the DSS 14 64-m-diameter antenna. To fulfill this requirement, a particularly attractive approach, the reflex feed system, is being implemented. The reflex feed configuration and the analytical techniques used for its analysis were described in a previous report. This article describes the calculated gain performance of the system at S-band and discusses the heating of the reflex feed dichroic reflector caused by high power S-band transmission.
