13.2.4 Parabolic Reflector Antennas
A parabolic reflector antenna consists of a parabolic shaped dish and a feed antenna
located in front of the dish. The feel antenna radiates power toward the reflector. Due to
the parabolic shape, the reflector concentrates the radiation into a narrow pattern,
resulting in a beam with high gain.
The antenna pattern is a beam pointed away from the concave side of the dish.
Beamwidth and antenna gain vary with the size of the reflector and the antenna
construction. Typical gain values are 15 to 30 dBi.
The antenna polarity depends on the feed antenna polarization.
