Abstract :
The letter presents experimental data for modified reactance-loaded short-backfire arrays. It is shown that the use of a rectangular subreflector, in conjunction with a half-wave-length rim around the edge of the main reflector, results in a smaller and simpler structure having larger power gain, smaller beamwidth, and lower sidelobe levels.
