SABOR: a fast analysis tool for horn and reflector antennas

SABOR (software de analisis de bocinas y reflectores) is an antenna-analysis approach for the computation of horn- and reflector-antenna performance. The program covers and expands topics already developed with other software. The program can analyze almost any kind of horn (E and H pyramidal horns, circular horns, corrugated horns). The current configuration of SABOR can also analyze centered and offset parabolic reflectors, dual-offset Cassegrain and Gregorian reflectors, and centered Cassegrain systems. For feeding reflectors, the program allows use of the classical cos/sup q/ pattern and any of the horn mentioned above. Usage of real horns improves the accuracy of computed efficiencies and the simulation of the cross-polar radiation.
