With the help of the vector theory of reflection and refraction, a novel emitting Cassegrain antenna with a semitransparent secondary mirror has been proposed and analyzed for a distant point source. Based on the absorptivity valued at 3.00% and the reflectivity valued at 0.10%, this new emitting antenna can increase the transmission efficiency from 63.65% to 93.85%. In addition, an off-axis parabolic receiving antenna corresponding to the emitting antenna is designed and the 3D ray-trace simulation result is given. According to the simulation result, this receiving antenna can nicely converge the rays from the emitting antenna.
