Abstract

This Addressing edge diffraction issues in compact range reflector systems, this paper proposes a spline-based rolled-edge reflector design method. A parabolic reflector model is constructed in CATIA, achieving curvature-continuous transitions through tangent tension optimization of spline curves. Coupled with an 8-12 GHz corrugated horn feed source, near-field simulations are performed using the MLFMM method. The results demonstrate that, within a 1 m×1 m×0.5 m quiet zone, amplitude taper and ripple at 10 GHz are below 1 dB, while phase taper and ripple remain under 4°. This reflector provides a high-precision solution for X-band compact ranges.
