An accurate beam model for the NRAO 91 meter radio telescope

Scalar field theory has been used to develop an accurate beam model for use with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory 91 meter radio telescope and the 6 cm dual feed system. The theoretical beam model was calibrated, to an accuracy of 3% of the beam peak, with a small sample of radio point sourc...
