Abstract

Parabolic antennas offer high gain and narrow beamwidth by employing a reflector to collimate radio waves. Dual reflectors reduce antenna system size over single reflectors and increase design optimization options. This paper introduces a detailed HFSS-based Cassegrain dual reflector design procedure for antenna design engineers. A stripline power splitter excites a 4x4 patch feed array. The parameterized model illustrates performance tradeoffs to meet system operating requirements.
