Abstract

A study of possible DSS 14 64-m-diameter antenna gain improvement by utilizing existing dual-reflector shaping techniques has been previously published. That study was restricted to the case of the axially symmetric (unicone) initial 64-mdiameter antenna configuration. After installation of the asymmetrical tricone system, studies of shaping techniques were discontinued pending operational experience with the tricone system at S- and X-bands, and development of new analytical tools for design and analysis of asymmetrical-shaped reflector systems. Recently, the required analytical tools have been developed and are described in this article.
