This work deals with the creation of two parabolic reflector systems, one single offset reflector
centered at 275 GHz and one dual Cassegrain reflector at 340 GHz. Based on a set of initial
specifications, both systems are electrically designed using a combination of specialized
software programs (including HFSS, μWave Wizard and GRASP), after which the manufacturing
models are created taking the pertinent precautions into account. Once the manufactured
models are received (machined by a third party), they are measured in Near-Field to verify their
correct operation, using transformation techniques (with custom MATLAB scripts) to compute
their Far-Field performances and compare them to the simulated design results. To understand
the operation of these types of systems, a theoretical overview of parabolic reflector antennas
is presented, as well as conclusions about the finished systems and possible investigative lines
and advancements to pursue in the future. [--]
