Detailed Description

Generates the surface mesh of the rim extension of a parabolic dish.

Computes the 3D coordinates (X, Y, Z) of a circular rim added to the outer edge of a parabolic reflector, given geometric parameters and sampling resolutions.

Parameters

f	Focal length of the paraboloid [m]
d	Diameter of the parabolic dish [m]
R	Radius of the circular rim [m]
alpha	Angular extent of the rim [rad]
t_res	Resolution of sampling along the t-parameter
phi_res	Resolution of sampling along the azimuthal direction

Return values

X	Meshgrid of X coordinates
Y	Meshgrid of Y coordinates
Z	Meshgrid of Z coordinates
