High resolution millimeter reflector antennas

The foremost millimeter reflector antennas in use are surveyed. Antenna descriptions are written by personnel at the institutions operating the antennas. The antennas described are the following: 1) MIT 28-foot and 120-foot (U.S.A.), 2) Lebedev and Crimean RT 22-meter (USSR), 3) Aerospace 15-foot (U.S.A.), 4) University of Texas 16-foot (U.S.A.), 5) AFCRL 29-foot (U.S.A.), 6) Bonn University 10-meter (Germany), 7) (CRC (DRTE) 30-foot (Canada), 8) NRAO 36-foot (U.S.A.), 9) Berkeley 20-foot (U.S.A.), and 10) JPL 18-4oot (U.S.A.). Antenna system descriptions include information on antenna performance, pointing capabilities, limitations, and principal applications. The antennas are used in radio astronomy and communication research. The reference section covers the major results obtained with the antennas.
