REFLECTOR ANTENNAS REFLECTOR ANTENNAS
W An antenna reIlector is a device that reIlects electromagnetic
waves.
W Parameters to be taken into account include the Iollowing that
directly inIluence eIIiciency:
Spillover (part of the feed antenna radiation)
Aperture blockage
llumination taper
Reflector surface deviation
efocusing
Cross polarization
Feed losses
Antenna feed mismatch
Nonuniform amplitude/phase distributions

W Plane reIlector introduce to
direct energy in a desired
direction.
W InIinite dimension oI plane
reIlector are idealized to use as
approximation Ior electrically
large surIaces.
Fig. Plane Reflector
W A corner reIlector is a retro reIlector consisting oI three
mutually perpendicular, intersecting Ilat surIaces, which
reIlects electromagnetic waves back towards the source.
W Unlike a simple mirror, they work Ior a relatively wide-angle
Iield oI view.
W The three intersecting surIaces oIten have square shapes. This
is also known as a corner cube.
W ecause oI its simplicity it
has many applications.
W In most practical
applications the included
angle Iound by plates is
usually 90
