Abstract :
The theoretical analysis of a planar reflector antenna consisting of dipoles printed on a conductor backed dielectric sheet illuminated by a waveguide feed horn is presented. The characteristics of the antenna are analysed using the spectral domain method for open structures. Theoretical and experimental results are compared
