The upper frequency of international EMC regulations is being expanded above 1 GHz. Radiated emissions above 1 GHz are different from those below 1 GHz that is existing upper regulation frequency, and which have lower field strength and sharper and tilted beam-width, relatively. In this paper, an effective evaluation method to be used above 1 GHz is studied using an offset parabola antenna system having a double-ridged horn antenna as a feed. First, simple model is proposed for calculating antenna factor and field uniformity of the parabola antenna system, and then real radiated emission and radiated susceptibility measurements are performed using a constant noise emitter and the suggested antenna system. The results show that the proposed antenna system has higher gain and power efficiency, and wider field uniformity relative to a conventional double-ridged horn antenna. Therefore, it is confirmed that the proposed system can be effectively used for EMC measurements above 1 GHz.

The main purpose of this paper is to determine a new focal point and field distribution due to the shape deformation of reflector antenna by numerical method such as geometrical optics and the aperture field method. It is shown the 4 types deformations to be added into original shape of parabola antenna and offset antenna: linear, quadratic, cubic and hybrid distortion. These results can be applied to deformed reflector antenna in order to fit a focal point and radiation pattern.

The performance sensitivity analysis due to manufacturing/alignment errors is performed for the Ku-band offset parabola antenna of the domestic Communications and Broadcasting Satellite. The performance variations due to reflector random surface error, which inevitably happens during reflector manufacturing, are statistically analyzed using RMS error and correlation interval. The impact on the antenna performance of the fred hem's position and angular errors is investigated, and the sensitive directions are identified. When the target tolerances are applied, the performance degradations are found to be within the loss budget or corresponding performance margins.
