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

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!.
