Abstract
A mathematical model of the circularly polarized feed is developed in this paper. The approach for the Jacobi-Bessel series expansion of the physical optics radiation integral studied by R. Mittra et al. is extended to the case of circular polarizition. A computation method for the circularly polarized contoured beam of the offset reflector antennas is analysed. Representative numerical result is given for effective isotropic radiated power contour-plot of the western zone coverage of Chinese territory by the 7-element array illumination.
