The Mathematical Absorber Reflection Suppression (MARS) technique is used ordinarily to identify and then suppress effects of spurious scattering within an antenna range measurement. This paper, for the first time, demonstrates by means of computational electromagnetic simulation that MARS can also be used to attenuate feed spillover in an offset parabolic reflector compact antenna test range. Preliminary results are presented and discussed.
