Description and Table of Contents

Description

Radio astronomers have developed techniques of calibration of large reflector antennas with radio astronomical methods, but these have not been comprehensively described. This text aims to fill this gap, taking a practical approach to the characterisation of antennas. All calculations and results in the form of tables and figures have been made with Mathematica by Wolfram Research. The reader can use the procedures for the implementation of his own input data.

Table of Contents

and historical development.- Geometry of reflector antennas.- Electromagnetic theory of the reflector antenna.- Antenna characteristics in practical applications.- Measurement of antenna parameters.- Miscellaneous subjects.- Design features of some radio telescopes.
