User's manual for semi-circular compact range reflector codeA computer code was developed to analyze a semi-circular paraboloidal reflector antenna with a rolled edge at the top and a skirt at the bottom. The code can be used to compute the total near field of the antenna or its individual components at a given distance from the center of the paraboloid. Thus, it is very effective in computing the size of the sweet spot for RCS or antenna measurement. The operation of the code is described. Various input and output statements are explained. Some results obtained using the computer code are presented to illustrate the code's capability as well as being samples of input/output sets.
