A non-linear, least square, two parameter fit for beam size, W, and beam coupling efficiency, ETA, was used. The antenna beam was assumed to have a circularly symmetric gaussian profile. The coupling efficency, ETA, reported here is a product of the cold spill over efficency and the main beam efficency. Because of the assumption of circular symmetry, the ETA, reported for the AZ, and EL axii will be different values if the beam was elliptical (i.e. 650 beam). Note2: W = is the radius (arc seconds) to the 1/e**2 pwr point (-8.7db). FWHM = 1.177*W Note3: Secondary edge tapers reported by Jacob based on direct measurements.
