Abstract: We investigate astigmatism in
Cassegrain antennas from cross scans through in--and--out--of--focus
diffraction images of
extended radio sources. The use of extended sources is of
interest for large (mm--wavelength) telescopes where the bright planets
subtend a substantial fraction of the beam. The experimental and
theoretical results presented here refer to the IRAM 30--m telescope
and measurements at 7.7 -- 1.3 mm wavelength; however, extrapolation to
other telescopes is evident.
