The conceptual guidelines in designing mm radio-telescope antennas are enlightened by some recent progress in their mechanical construction, and opto-radio-geometrical adjustment. This paper reviews concepts, illustrated in many existing solutions, including the new “phaseretrieval” holography for single dish adjustment (D.Morris, IRAM, 1982): 2 amplitude only maps at focus and out of focus, with enough dynamic range and signal to noise ratio, give surface errors within hours.
