Abstract :
The system gain and radiation pattern of a passive reflector antenna system (with a 45-degree plane rectangular reflector) are developed from aperture field theory. Experimentally determined system gains and a measured radiation pattern substantiate the theoretical analysis. Side-lobe levels and mutual coupling are also discussed.
