Next the source of spillover is discussed, and parametric curves showing losses as a function of the Cassegrain design parameters are presented. These results lead to some useful relationships for choosing the design parameters for optimum gain performance. </span> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <strong> <span style="font-size: 8pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">  </span> </span> </strong> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span> </p> <font face="TimesNewRoman" size="1"> <font face="TimesNewRoman" size="1"> <p align="left">  </p> </font> </font> </span> <font face="TimesNewRoman" size="1"> <p align="left">  </p> </font> </span> <p align="left"> <span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: TimesNewRoman;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small; font-family: TimesNewRoman;"> </span> </span> </p>}, number={4}, publisher={Gazi University}
