Surface Measurement of a 3-foot Diameter Offset Feed Antenna for 36 GHz Operation

-- Donald | July 20, 2023

Question:

Is there a simple way to measure the surface accuracy of a 3 foot, offset feed dish, for 36 Ghz use?

-- Donald

Answer:

I believe that the standard photogrammetry technique, which uses photographic measurements from a series of different angles to derive the surface shape of an antenna, would be the most effective technique to use to measure the surface of such a antenna.
