A Review and Survey on Reflector Antennas and Feeding Techniques

Abhishek S. Telsang

Abstract


Wireless communication is a field that is most widely researched. The communication systems study is incomplete without understanding the use and operation of various types of antennas. Although there are many types of antenna, antennas that are having light weight, long distance coverage, inexpensive and are capable of maintaining high performance over a wide range of frequencies are preferred. One of the antennas that fulfill the above mentioned criteria is the Reflector antenna [1]. Hence this paper reviews Reflector antennas with their feeding techniques that finds its application in ISM and WLAN.

Keywords—reflector antenna; cassegrain; gregorian; axial; offset; feeds.
