What does the Ruze equation describe?

  • A.Gain loss caused by random surface errors on a reflector
  • B.The relationship between aperture size and the half power beamwidth achieved
  • C.The variation of feed impedance with the position of the feed relative to focus
  • D.The bandwidth available from a reflector of a given focal length to diameter ratio

Answer: A

Ruze relates the root mean square surface error, measured in wavelengths, to the gain lost and the scattered power that appears in the side lobes. An error of a sixteenth of a wavelength costs about a decibel, which is the usual manufacturing criterion. The other options describe beamwidth scaling, feed positioning and bandwidth, all of which are governed by different relations. Ruze is what turns a mechanical tolerance into an electrical specification, and it is why the same dish is excellent at one frequency and useless at ten times it.
