The SWE method is used to calculate the nearfield distribution at any point in front of a curved edge symmetrical paraboloid. Comparing the results with those from the GTD method, we find that without correction, using the physical optics current approximation, we can get relatively accurate nearfield distribution in front of the dish.
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.
