Abstract
A method for calculating antenna-reflector combination gain for rectan gular reflectors operating in the Fresnel region is derived instead of an approximate method based on an equi-area circular reflector. The s cope of microwave application of the method,is discussed, and reflecto r-equipped microwave links in operation are examined using the nea met hod. A held test result using 50-GHz radio equipment with four types o f reflectors shows good agreements,vith the theoretical calculations.
