Beam-Waveguide Feed for Satellite Communication Earth Station with Frequency-Reuse

Abstract

This paper describes the analysis, design and experimental evaluation of a Beam-waveguide feed for satellite communication earth station with frequency reuse, in the 11/14 GHz band. A theorical model is presented which accounts for the electromagnetic behaviour of the system by means of simple formulas and results in a simple synthesis procedure. Numerical results for a more refined analysis are presented. Experimental results are presented as well as main expected secondary performances.
