✦ Synopsis

The radiation chamcteristics of a parabolic cylindrical refictor antenna fed by a linear microstrip patch array operated at fi band are studied. CaLiiy model and physical optics approximations are used to analyze the patch array and the induced currents on the reflector surface, respectively. Radiation patterns are obtained by integrating the induced currents over the reflector sugace. An experiment i s canied out to verifi the theoretical findings.
