Description
Summary:Considerations relating to the parabolic dish reflector antennas are discussed. The characteristics, efficiency and construction for a variety of dish antennas are analyzed. Actual measurements and tests were made and a comparative study of the performance of screen mesh and solid antennas is presented. TVRO signal reception levels from a number of geo stationary satellites were used as criteria for the assessment.
