Beamwidth is calculated as: 70*lambda/D.
Beamwidth is calculated as: pi/180*1.15*lambda/D.
Note that the constant 1.15 is dependent upon illumination tapering, which is determined by the feed.

The nominal gain is calculated as: g0=10\*log10(eff/100.0\*(pi*D/lambda)^2)
The gain is then adjusted for surface error with Ruze's equation: g=g0-685.81*(e/lambda)^2
<h3>18: Effective area</h3>
