Abstract
A reflective antenna system for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic radiation comprises a reflector that includes a spherical reflective surface, and a feed assembly configured to provide the electromagnetic radiation at an operation frequency. The feed assembly includes a dual circular polarization feed that is located along a radial line of the spherical reflector, and RF instruments connected with the dual circular polarization feed, thereby allowing the reflector to transmit the electromagnetic radiation, to receive the electromagnetic radiation, or transmit and receive the electromagnetic radiation.
