Abstract

A method for calculating antenna-reflector combination gain for rectangular reflectors operating in the Fresnel region is derived instead of an approximate method based on an equi-area circular reflector. The scope of microwave application of the method is discussed, and reflector-equipped microwave links in operation are examined using the new method. A field test result using 50-GHz radio equipment with four types of reflectors shows good agreements with the theoretical calculations
