Shaping Single Offset Reflector Antennas Using Local Axis-Displaced Confocal Quadrics

This work investigates a novel numerical procedure for the solution of an exact formulation for the Geometrical Optics synthesis of a single reflector antenna by simultaneously imposing Snell’s Law and Conservation of Energy in a tube of rays, yielding a second-order nonlinear partial differential e...
