    摘要: A method and system for reconfiguring an antenna system are disclosed. The system comprises a feed horn, a subreflector, and a main reflector. The feed horn is pointed at an axis removed from the bisector axis of the subreflector. The distance between the feed horn and the subreflector can be changed to defocus the feed horn with respect to the subreflector, wherein a size of the outgoing beam emanating from the main reflector changes when the distance between the feed horn and the subreflector is changed. The method comprises pointing an axis of a feed horn at a subreflector, wherein the axis of the feed horn is aligned differently from the bisector axis of the subreflector, and changing the distance between the feed horn and the subreflector to defocus the feed horn with respect to the subreflector, wherein a size of an outgoing beam emanating from a main reflector changes when the distance between the feed horn and the subreflector is changed.

    摘要: An invention is provided for generating a shaped reflector. The invention includes receiving required performance data that defines a desired RF performance of a shaped reflector. A mathematical model of the shaped reflector is manipulated to generate a new geometry for the shaped reflector, which is capable of generating the desired RF performance. To ensure the new geometry can be physically duplicated with high precision, the mathematical model is manipulated in a manner that can be duplicated using a plurality of tuners associated with the shaped reflector. Once the new geometry is created, data is outputted that defines alterations to the plurality of tuners needed to generate the new geometry for the shaped reflector.
