Michael,
This pdf said the efficiency of a parabola in the formula of the gain:
10*log10 ((efficiency 0,45-0,7*(4phy/wave lenght^2)*Area of the parabola))=
is between 45% and 70% .
My question is a fiber glass parabola 3mm tich, what woud I chose to coefic=
ient 0,45 or 0,7?
One aluminium parabola inside and with fiberglass in the rear?

I have made one exel with the formula and parabolas with 40cm, 60cm 80 cm =
and 86,8cm diameter, here is the results:

My next parabola (88,6 cm diameter and 20cm focal distance)is one in alumin=
ium foil 0,8mm tich with fiberglass in the rear, now I know it is not nece=
ssary to made one clay mold the aluminium is the parabola and the mold for =
the fiberglass.
This formula is a general formula for waves, light, radio or sound in a =
parabola, is it a fiable formula to calculate the gains? I know from posts =
here (Klas,Telinga or Avocet, David)that in the sub 1kz it is not so intere=
sting to have a parabola. But in a tripod a big parabola would be a good op=
tion.
