Introduction

3. Aperture antenna

Horn antenna: sectoral horn, pyramidal horn, conical horn



4. Reflector antenna

Parabolic antenna

Symmetric mounting- Masking effect: aperture blocking and

diffraction- Spillover: ground noise

Offset mounting- Small antenna: 1 ~ 4 m (diameter)- Spillover: ground noise

Cassegrain mounting- Parabolic and hyperbolic reflectors- Spillover: sky noise



4. Reflector antenna

Cassegrain antenna



Introduction

5. Array antenna

Antenna gain vs. loss- : number of elements- : distance from feeder to element
