Abstract

This note demonstrates the existence and possible suppression of the residual side-lobes in a coaxial Bragg reflector by employing Blackman window distribution, no matter if the phase difference between the outer and inner corrugations is 0, or π/2, or π. Physical explanation is qualitatively given to the effect of the window distribution.
