Waveguides with anisotropic surface impedance boundaries have been investigated for the purpose of matched feeds for offset reflectors. Matched feeds employ higher order waveguide modes to cancel out cross polarization introduced by the offset geometry. Since the higher order modes…

We report an RF study at 50 GHz of the Ice Cloud Imager, consisting of a parabolic reflector inside a semiclosed sun shield, as obtained with full-wave method of moments (MoM) and the asymptotic high-frequency multi-geometrical theory of diffraction (Multi-GTD)…

The design of an aperiodic frequency selective surface (FSS) for compact quasi-optical networks is presented in this paper. Using a newly developed Physical Optics (PO) method in conjunction with a direct optimisation approach where all elements are simultaneously optimised, an…

The monostatic Radar Cross Section (RCS) is an important design parameter for many applications but accurate RCS prediction of an electrically large structure continues to be a challenging task. High accuracy demands and a complicated geometry often mean that asymptotic…

An investigation of curved contoured beam reflectarrays with reusable surface for multiple coverages is presented. The main advantage of curved reflectarrays over shaped reflectors is that they allow the possibility of reusing a standard parabolic mold for multiple missions. To…
