Description

The antenna aperture efficiency is a recurrence of illumination efficiency (or taper efficiency) and spillover efficiency and phase efficiency. The illumination efficiency depends on the taper of the feed and spillover depends on after taper how the radiation pattern falls and also the back lobes. Similarly, the ground temperature mostly depends on spillover temperature. The objective of this work is to form the antenna radiation pattern and how it will affect the aperture efficiency and ground temperature and also, we will give a glimpse of how we will improve the aperture efficiency and ground temperature by changing the radiation pattern with a given FOD (focal length/ diameter). The work is carried out by using RASCAL software which was previously given a very good argument between computed and measured sensitivity.
