FRONTISPIECE
(a) Forty-five cm diameterreflectorantenna with Cassegrainfeed and open ended waveguide
probe
Data were taken at a spacing of0.508 cm (approximately 1 wavelength) in each direction
in a transverse plane about 20 cm from the rim of the reflector. In this set-up bandlimiting
was effectively due to the sharpness of the antenna pattern, so that half-wavelength spacing
was not required.
(b) Farfleld magnitude calculatedfor the arrangement shown.
Results were obtained over greatly magnified elevation and azimuth scales by a procedure
devised by Allen C. Newell to utilize information available according to the sampling
theorem but not provided by the unmodified FFT calculation.
