Abstract
A high power dual band high gain antenna system is provided. The antenna system employs one or more feedhorn clusters to distribute power associated with the transmission of high power signals. A first feedhorn cluster is associated with a first frequency band and a second feedhorn cluster is associated with a second frequency band that operates in frequencies below the first frequency band. The antenna system includes a sub-reflector and a main reflector with a first focal point of the sub-reflector being substantially aligned with a focal point of the main reflector. The first feedhorn cluster and the second feedhorn cluster are arranged on a surface of the main reflector with radiating aperture phase centers substantially aligned with a second focal point of the sub-reflector.
