Synthesis of dual offset Gregorian reflector antennas with very low cross polarization under practical constraints for mass production

This dissertation starts with a complete survey of the depolarization characteristics of axisymmetric and offset reflector antennas. Single and dual reflector configurations are considered. Cross polarization (XPOL) and beam squint are examined in detail. Although many of the phenomena are known, th...
