The class of problems to which the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method can be applied is extended through the use of near and far-field projection techniques. These methods are developed by applying the equivalence principle to a surface within the FDTD problem space. Algorithms are found to project the equivalent electric and magnetic currents on this surface to any point in space either in the time or the frequency domains. A summary of extensive validation and error checking results is presented which shows the routines to be robust and accurate to within a few percent. As a result, the FDTD approach can be applied to a number of previously impractical problems. © 1992, VSP. All rights reserved.

Outcomes of a study undertaken by CSIRO on the six possible shaped beams for the Galaxy HS601C satellites are described. These satellites will provide C- and Ku-band communications to continental USA and neighbouring islands. Of especial concern in the study was the effect on performance of mutual coupling between the multi-mode horns in the feed arrays for the reflectors which generate the shaped beams. Mutual coupling influences the reflection coefficient at the horn inputs as well as the directivity of the shaped beam. After a brief description of the antenna geometry, methods used to analyse the antennas are outlined. Results are presented for possible antenna designs with and without mutual coupling in the feed array. We describe some techniques employed to optimize the array beamforming networks. Due to practical considerations it was possible to change only some of the beamforming network couplers and the impact of shaped beam design with a reduced set of couplers is discussed.

A systematic investigation on flat printed phase correcting zone plate reflector antennas is presented. A multi-layered structure is proposed and a circular quarter-wave zone plate reflector with 54.8% efficiency is reported. When the zone plate reflector is offset, the circular zones become elliptical ones with their centers moved away successively from where the feed is pointed at. Experimental results on an offset half-wave zone plate reflector is given. Unfortunately, the antenna sidelobe level shown in the paper is much worse than that of the CCIR standard, which presently limits the zone plate reflectors as reception-only antennas. However, more recent experiments have shown that the sidelobes of the quarter-wave zone plate reflectors can be significantly improved by introducing better phase compensation and various approaches are being investigated.
