DESIGN ANALYSIS OF A LOW-COST PARABOLIC ANTENNA FOR DEVELOPING NATION

This paper is aimed at designing a locally fabricated fiberglass parabolic antenna as a replacement for a metallic fabricated parabolic antenna. They are coated with a thin film of aluminum dust to enhance reflectivity since electromagnetic radiations do not travel deep in a conductor. This reduces...
