Abstract. A technique for the synthesis of two-mirror cylindrical antenna systems for a given amplitude distribution in the aperture has been developed. At the first stage geometrical-optical synthesis is carried out, at the second stage a refined solution is found using the field of the feed on the secondary mirror found by the numerical method of finite element. As an example, a two-mirror cylindrical antenna system with a horn-lens feed and a uniform field distribution in the main mirror aperture has been synthesized. Using full-wave simulation by the finite element method, the analysis of the radiation characteristics of a synthesized two-mirror antenna system is carried out. The scanning characteristics of the antenna system by turning the main mirror are investigated. The efficiency of a cylindrical two-mirror antenna system with a horn-lens waveguide transition in the E-plane and an H- sectorial horn feed reaches 0.95 i.e. is close to the limiting value. When scanning the main lobe of the pattern in an angular sector of 27 degrees due to the rotation of the main mirror gain exceeds 26 dB, and efficiency exceeds 0.8.
Key words: antenna, two-mirror, cylindrical, horn-lens feed.
