Abstract

A multi-band ring focus antenna system includes a main reflector (408) that is operable at a plurality spectrally offset frequency bands. A first feed (301, 403) includes a first feed horn (301) and a first sub-reflector (403), which are positioned spaced apart from each other at respective locations along a boresight axis of the main reflector. The locations are selected so that the first feed horn and the first sub-reflector share a commonly located first phase center (401). A second feed (302, 404) designed for operation on a second RF frequency band includes a second feed horn (302) and a second sub-reflector (404), each positioned at a location along the boresight axis of the main reflector so that they share a commonly located second phase center.
