Study Comparative of Parabolic and Phased Array Antenna

Abstract: This report focuses on two typical radar antennas, parabolic reflectors and arrays. Computations of the far-field radiation patterns and comparison are implemented. We concentrate on how to scan a focused beam and steering the antennas using some modern techniques such as linear phased array, array tapering and discrete Fourier transform DFT are also introduced. Keywords: Far-field radiation pattern; parabolic reflector; phased array antenna; Fourier transform.
