There are many critical parameters in the design of a radio telescope, such as antenna gain and antenna resolution. In telecommunications, radar, and radio telescopes, an antenna is a very important component. There are many designs of the antenna, such as dipole array and parabolic antenna. Parabolic antennas also have many sub-reflector and antenna methods that control the radio wave, such as the Cassegrain type. A Cassegrain-type antenna is a parabolic antenna in which the feed antenna is mounted at or behind the surface of the main parabolic reflector dish. For the transmitter system, the beam of radio waves from the feed antenna illuminates the secondary reflector (sub-reflector), which reflects it back to the main reflector dish and then forward to space. The Cassegrain design is widely used in parabolic antennas, for large antennas in satellite ground stations, communication satellites, and radio telescopes. In this paper discusses the design of a Cassegrain-type antenna for radio telescope, basic calculation, diameter size of the main reflector of 20 meters, the diameter size of sub-reflector of 2.5 meters, and frequency of 22 GHz and 43 GHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
