| Description | As part of the Large Space System Technology Program, this report, in two volumes, presents the theoretical and experimental results of the RF characteristic of a hoop/column, quad aperture antenna using an RF verification model. To satisfy the primary purposes of the model it provides experimental pattern data for the quad aperture configuration at different reflector edge illumination levels, from which the geometry and edge effects can be assessed, and provides experimental data which can be compared with calculations using various theoretical reflector scattering formulae. It also experimentally determines the effects upon secondary patterns of scale model quartz cables, as used in the hoop/column design, upon secondary patterns in order to assess the importance of developing a scattering theory to predict such effects. In addition, this report contains a comprehensive theoretical study and the experimental pattern results of quad aperture antenna feeds, a discussion of the fundamental affect of parasitic side lobes, their amplitude, and location in space. |
