Resumen

With increasing interest in the W-band, there is growing focus on parabolic reflector antennas that are known for efficiently inducing high-gain radiation characteristics. There is particular focus on parabolic antennas with diverse defocus-fed applications, including monopulse tracking, multi-beam formation using multiple feeds, and aperture-shared antennas for multi-band operation. Thus, a new simplified method is presented in this paper to analyze the radiation characteristics of defocus-fed parabolic antennas. The presented method is based on the discrete division of a parabolic reflector surface and considers only simplified wave propagation theory and the effect of the scalar function pattern from the feeder. Additionally, array theory is exclusively applied for the analysis of radiation characteristics. Therefore, the presented method uses a very simplified formula to calculate the radiation characteristics of a defocused parabolic reflector antenna. The performance of the presented method was evaluated by comparing the results with commercial EM tools. The results of the analysis confirm the applicability of the presented method for the analysis of defocus-fed parabolic antennas.
