摘要 |
The present invention relates to an antenna arrangement capable of correcting for astigmatism over a broadband range, the antenna arrangement comprising a main focusing reflector arrangement (10), such as, for example, a Cassegrainian antenna system, a feed arrangement (12) and an astigmatic correction means (14) disposed between the feed arrangement and the main focusing antenna arrangement. The astigmatic correction means comprises a first and a second doubly curved subreflector (18, 16) which are curved in orthogonal planes to permit the launching or reception of an astigmatic beam of constant size and shape over a broadband range. By proper choice of the angle of incidence at each subreflector, cross-polarization and astigmatism of the beam can be canceled simultaneously.
