On a monopulse ring-focus shaped reflector antenna with arbitrary polarization

The near-field distribution and far-field pattern of a monopulse ring-focus shaped reflector antenna are studied. The four-fold integral appearing in the formulation by using PO method is converted into a triple integral for the near-field case and a double integral for the far-field case by applying the Fourier series expansion. Good agreements have been achieved between theoretical and experimental results.
