Title: Prodelin / GD Satcom antennas and ABCD measurments
Post by Forum Admin on Jan 31st, 2012 at 11:03am
I have found this page:
-- broken link -
which lists all the pdf documents providing the reference ABCD measurements for the feed positions of all Prodelin antennas.

Best regards, Eric.

The best document I can find, dated 2014 is:

https://www.satsig.net/prodelin/TD0641-May-2014-Rev-N.pdf

This provides the ABCD measurements for many Prodelin/ GD Satcom antennas.

In each case the phase centre (or focal point) will be somewhere in the feed, but on the axis of the feed. It varies according to design of feed, thus multiple ABCD measurements for different frequencies.

I hope this helps.

Eric

If anyone is interested you could put all the ABCD figures into a spreadsheet. Then average the pairs AB and CD to get the centre of the feed aperture window. Then speculate as to the position of the phase centre at or inside the feed aperture window for each frequency and feed type!.
