A prototype DSN X-S band feed: DSS 13 applicationA prototype X-S band horn feed for future use at various DSN sites, dealing with the testing of the final fabricated feed at DSS 13 are discussed. Measured feedhorn patterns are presented, and efficiencies calculated. Preliminary results of system noise temperature and 26-m antenna system gain measurements are presented. Some measurements leading to an improved second generation feed are described. The results of the field measurements indicate that this horn will perform as originally specified and required. The tests for the second generation feed have indicated the potential cause of minor X-band moding.
