REFLECTOR ARRAYS

Abstract

A scheme for a theoretical investigation of an arbitrary Van Atta reflector with or without a conducting plate is given. A four element linear reflector consisting of half wave dipoles has been given special attention. The reradiation pattern of such reflector has been examined analytically and numerically and the theoretical results have been confirmed by experiment. It is found that a Van Atta reflector do not always behave as stated in the patent description.
