TRIPLE CORNER REFLECTOR ANTENNA AND ITS PERFORMANCE IN H-PLANE

An experimental investigation of a novel corner reflector antenna with improved performance is reported. The corner reflector antenna has be en structurally modified by attaching two more reflector elements. The parameters such as the primary corner angle, position, width and angl e of the secondary elements have significant effects on the H-plane ra diation characteristics of the antenna. Certain symmetric configuratio ns of this triple corner reflector (TCR) antenna provide sharp beams w ith a gain of the order of 3dB over that of the conventional corner re flector (CR) antenna.
