What is aperture efficiency?

  • A.The proportion of the beam solid angle inside the main lobe
  • B.Effective aperture divided by physical aperture
  • C.Radiated power divided by accepted power
  • D.Gain divided by directivity

Answer: B

Aperture efficiency is the ratio of effective to physical area, and it accounts for illumination taper, spillover past the reflector, blockage by the feed and surface errors. A typical prime focus dish reaches fifty to sixty per cent and a well designed Cassegrain rather more. Radiated over accepted power is radiation efficiency, gain over directivity is the same thing, and the last option describes beam efficiency, which matters in radiometry.
