ABSTRACT:
Tapering the surface current density near the edges of a parabolic reflector antenna lowers the sidelobe level of the reflector. The current density is tapered by placing tapered resistive edge loads on the reflector for gradually decreasing the conductivity from the center of the reflector to the edge.
