Why might a parabolic reflector horn type microwave antenna be preferable to a parabolic dish type microwave antenna?
EcclesJordanTrigger
The reflector horn type antenna has greater "side lobe" rejection, directionality and sensitivity (efficiency) than a dish type.

What are the material is used manufacturing Parabolic reflector antenna?
A parabolic reflector antenna is made of fiberglass or metal (usually aluminum).
What two types antenna used for terrestrial microwave communication?
Virtually all terrestrial microwave communication is point-to-point, using parabolic reflector antennas. A small percentage uses yagi, helical, corner reflector, or flat-plate reflector antennas. Essentially no "omnidirectional" antennas are used in microwave.
What is a spherical dish antenna required for satellite tv reception?
The parabolic antenna is really not an antenna at all - but a collector/reflector, which catches and concentrates RF (radio frequency) into a tiny antenna mounted above the dish, pointed into the dish. Since satellites transmit at very high frequencies (microwave), the actual antenna can be shorter than one inch. To strenghen the signal and make aiming the antenna at the satellite easier, the parabolic reflector picks up a wider area of RF.
What are the common shapes for antenna reflectors?
A lot of parabolic reflectors are used in antennas, particularly with frequencies in the microwave region. There are a few other shapes, but they are infrequent choices for antenna designers.

How do terrestrial systems work?
Terrestrial, or ground, systems work by sending very high frequency signals from transmitters to repeater stations and back to receivers
What type of antenna is used for satellite communication?
parabolic
Which type antenna used for radar communication?
Radar and communications are two different applications of radio waves. For radar, directional antennas are used, and the normal antenna for a ship installation would be a parabolic reflector with a rectangular aperture about 5 times wider than its height. This gives a narrow beam in the horizontal direction, and pulses are sent out and detected after being reflected by the target.
Why the parabolic antenna has parabola shape?
Parallel rays, such as those from a very distance source, are focussed by a parabolic antenna so that they all meet at the focus of the parabola. This results in a stronger signal.
What is microwave and satellite communication?
AnswerThe term microwave is associated to electromagnetic waves of frequency of the order of MHz .Since the energy carried by the wave is directly proportional to their frequency they are of great use in distance communication. For a simple microwave communication system, a radiator ,a reflector and one receiver antenna are essential. As the wave penetrates through the atmosphere a satellite reflector is usually used. Satellites use Microwaves to send signals.
Is there a platinum in parabolic disc antenna?
It would be a waste of precious metal if there was.
