Focal Point

Hello Group,

This inquisitive newcomer is exploring the possibilities of
configuring an economical parabolic microphone from a bird feeder
squirrel guard. What is the "focal point" that I have heard referenced
here, how critical is it in positioning a microphone inside of a
parabolic, and how is it measured in relation to the depth and
diameter of the parabola?

Thank you for your kind considerations. Have to ask simple questions
if one wants to learn about something, so I am asking the best teachers.

Regards,

   John
