The paper describes a dual-band feed system, operating at S- and X-band, that can be temporarily mounted and used in a classical Cassegrainian-type radio telescope without removing the existing feed systems. The novel feed system, designed to give us high efficiency as possible in both bands, consists of two offset primary-fed parabolic reflectors, one for each frequency band. The X-band reflector, located behind the S-band reflector, radiates through a plane dichroic surface that replaces the central part of the S-band reflector. The feed system is to be used for space geodesy utilizing the very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique and has been tested and used at a radio telescope in Chile. The paper contains results of both a theoretical design study and measurements.
