What feed pattern does a deep reflector of low f over D require?

  • A.A very narrow feed pattern so that no power spills past the rim edge
  • B.A feed pattern with a null on axis to avoid illuminating the vertex
  • C.A feed pattern that is uniform right out to ninety degrees off axis
  • D.A broad feed pattern to illuminate the wide subtended angle

Answer: D

A deep dish subtends a large angle at the focus, so the feed must radiate broadly to reach its rim, whereas a shallow dish needs a narrow feed pattern. Matching the feed pattern to the subtended angle, with about ten decibels of edge taper, is the central task of feed design. A narrow pattern would underilluminate a deep dish, an on axis null would waste the centre, and no practical feed is uniform to ninety degrees. Feed and reflector must be designed as one system.
