Cassegrain Antenna

One of several types of reflective antenna systems used for satellite communications. The Cassegrain type uses a paraboloidal primary reflector with a secondary hyperboloidal reflector. Efficiency of the antenna system is improved because less microwave energy is permitted to spill past the edge of the primary reflector.
