Project Code 2024/013
Project Title/ AreaRadiation pattern analysis of phased array feed with parabolic reflector.
Project DescriptionReflector antenna primarily used for high gain and directed beam purpose. The major disadvantage of reflector antenna is limited field of view and sky survey time is increased. To minimize this focal array feed is proposed where FOV and sky survey is fast. In this project our objective is to design a Vivaldi type PAF and the performance is studied and optimized with a reflector antenna.
