Publisher's Synopsis
The manpower on this effort was reduced during this reporting period. Activity in the past six months is summarized. The Type 1 antenna is complete and documentation is in final phases. The Type 2 antenna design is complete and a journal article was prepared and was accepted for publication in EEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. The spherical antenna configurations are complete and a journal article will appear in the June 1993 issue of EEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. In addition, a patent for the spherical antenna is being pursued. The final current activity is that of optimization techniques and they are approaching completion as well. The Tri-Reflector synthesis code (TSAP) was put into user friendly format. A user's guide (Report 93-13) was written and distributed to LaRC. Work continues on EASY7. EASY7 is a user friendly code used to create an input file to GRASP7. Stutzman, W. L. and Takamizawa, K. and Werntz, P. and Lapean, J. and Shen, B.
