20221216 - Reflector antennas - Advanced antenna techniques

Some type of reflectors:

  • Planar reflector
  • Corner reflector:
    • Used to calibrate radar systems
    • Almost always with a dipole paralel to the edge, like in a TV antenna (yagi).

Parabolic reflector

From the boundary conditions you can say that:

$$ J_s = \hat n \times (H^i + H^r) = 2 \hat n \times H^i $$

$$ D = \Big ( \frac{\pi d}{\lambda} \Big )^2 \varepsilon_{ap} \qquad \varepsilon_{ap} \approx 0.8 $$
