A modeling of a 1.5‐m diameter parabolic reflector using the discrete Pocklington equation working at a frequency of 2.45 GHz has been presented; the proposal allows to obtain far‐field radiation pattern from the reflected field close to the surface plate which has been first modeled in CST MWS and then it was converted into a current vector using the discrete Pocklington equation. Finally, the far‐field pattern using antennas array theory was obtained. To validate the results, they compared them with the measurements of a real parabolic reflector. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 58:1595–1599, 2016
