Abstract (en)
An antenna system, on a spacecraft for example, comprises a movable reflector dish so that the antenna pointing direction can be varied or scanned and a fixed feed. To reduce separation of the feed from the focal point of the dish during such scanning, the feed is positioned at the point about which the dish is movable and is directed towards a convex auxiliary dish fixed to and movable with the main dish and producing a virtual image of the feed at the focal point of the main dish.
