This book is the first comprehensive treatment of microwave horns and
feeds for reflector antennas for use in satellite and terrestrial
communications, radar and radio astronomy. The feed for a reflector
antenna is a crucial component because the performance of the reflector
depends on a good feed to collect or radiate signals.
The book presents the principles and applications of reflector and horn
antennas with emphasis on the developments of the last decade. The
background theory is included and the analytical techniques are
explained. Extensive design data and numerous examples of practical horn
and feed antennas are given.
The book is a collaboration between four authors, bringing together an
unrivalled knowledge of analytical techniques and experience in
designing horns, feeds and reflector antennas. The book should be of
value to both the research worker and the designer of practical feeds
for reflector antennas.
