摘要 |
The present invention relates to a multibeam antenna arrangement having minimal aberration of astigmatism and coma over a wide area of the focal surface of the antenna. The present antenna comprises a plurality of N reflectors arranged confocally in a sequence along a feed axis of the antenna and at least one feed disposed in the vicinity of a focal point on the focal surface. The reflectors and the at least one feed are further arranged to provide an equivalent centered antenna arrangement with the longitudinal axis of the feed corresponding to an equivalent axis of the centered arrangement for eliminating astigmatism. Coma is then eliminated by deforming two of the N reflectors in a predetermined manner.
