Analysis of circular reflector antenna covered by concentric dielectric radome

The radiation from a two-dimensional cylindrical reflector antenna with a concentric dielectric radome is analyzed in an accurate manner for both H and E polarization cases. The problem is first formulated in terms of the dual series equations, and then it is regularized by using Riemann-Hilbert problem technique. The resulting matrix equation is solved numerically, with a guaranteed accuracy, and sufficiently little CPU time is needed. The feed directivity is included in the analysis by the complex source point method. Various characteristic patterns are obtained for the front-fed reflector antenna geometries in this study.
