Offset Advantage: Electromagnetic Performance
• Clear optical path, no blockage or scattering
• Combined with shaped optics, leads to very low spillover (~ -50db wide angle)
• Very low spillover yields very low antenna noise temperature (<6 K ground)
• Very low spillover results in high rejection of RFI and strong sources
• Shaped optics yield high efficiencies, total result is a high Aeff / Tsys

Offset Advantage: Payload Capability
• Ample space and load capability to mount multiple feeds
• Feeds, receivers and interchange mechanism out of optical path
• Access to payload area with out impacting either reflector
• PAF can be mounted at either secondary or primary focal area
• For structural cost reasons, DVA-1 is “feed arm high”
• Easy, effective maintenance access with a standard scissors lift truck

Low System Noise, Now & Future
• Lowering Tsys is the most cost effective way to increase sensitivity
• Present LNA’s need cryogenics to minimize noise contribution, expensive
• Ongoing trend is ever lower noise and future cryogenics should be lower cost.
• Conclusion: Reduce antenna noise contribution to absolute minimum now.
• Deep edge tapers improve antenna noise but usually lower efficiency
• Shaping restores the efficiency and optimizes Aeff / Tsys

Conclusions• Shaped, offset gregorian reflectors yield very high performance
• Cost increment for offset design is modest
• Very low noise performance maximizes Aeff/Tsys
• Mechanical design with single piece reflectors is very stiff
• Equivalent RMS error from all sources is .45 mm. , worst case
