Antenna feed system

A center fed parabolic microwave system comprising:

• an antenna feed system coupled to a parabolic reflector;
• the antenna feed system comprised of:
• a printed circuit board positioned along an axis of symmetry of the parabolic reflector, with a distal portion of the printed circuit board positioned towards a focal point of the parabolic reflector, while a proximal portion of the printed circuit board positioned away from the focal point of the parabolic reflector;
• a plurality of active antenna elements located at the distal portion of the printed circuit board and extending from the axis of symmetry of the parabolic reflector in opposite directions;
• a radio transceiver located on the printed circuit board, wherein the radio transceiver is configured to receive a digital signal and generate a radio frequency (RF) signal, said RF signal is coupled to the plurality of active antenna elements;
• and
• a sub-reflector having a concave surface, the sub-reflector positioned distal to the printed circuit board and on the axis of symmetry of the parabolic reflector,
• wherein the sub-reflector is configured to reflect radiated energy generated by the plurality of active antenna elements back to the parabolic reflector, and the transceiver includes a client controller that supports OSI layers.
