Abstract
A reflector antenna system with multiple feeds each operating in a separate frequency band. The antenna system includes a main parabolic reflector and an ellipsoidal subreflector configured in a Gregorian arrangement. Mutual blockage between the multiple feeds is reduced by their orientation and arrangement. The system includes a transversely positioned feed and an axial feed located in the focal region of the main reflector. The transverse feed may be integral with the subreflector. The system also includes a third feed placed at the virtual focal point of the subreflector.
