The second approach extracts the dominant field contribution near focus analytically with subsequent numerical treatment of the remaining faster converging Fourier integral term. The third approach is based on the method of moments solution of the integral equation formulated for the finite size lens.

A product of this novel feeding is the modularity of the aperture (tiled assembly). A proof of concept 16×16×2 dual-polarized array prototype operating over 7-21.5GHz (3∶1 bandwidth) was fabricated and measured.
