The use of serrated edge treatment in the design of a compact range collimating reflector is one method of mitigating the effects of edge diffraction on quiet zone performance. In this note a physical optics analysis is applied to the serrated reflector. The computational procedure is described and several results are presented. In particular, computed results are presented for the Model 5755 compact range reflector and compared with experiment.
