Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A reflector antenna excited by TM01 circular waveguide mode is being studied. Since the conventional reflector antenna with steps cancels out half of the polarized components, the polarization loss increases, theoretically by 3dB. Therefore, we propose an antenna to improve the gain by loading a metal grid on the reflector surface, as compared to the conventional antenna design. Prototype verification shows the effectiveness of the antenna.
