Impedance of a corner-reflector antenna as a function of the diameter and length of the driven element

Abstract

Impedance mea.<;UI'ements h ave been m ade for a monopole in a corner l'efterLor over an image pla ne as a fun ction of t h e monopole length , di a m eter, an d p os it io n wi thin the cornerreflector structure. The res ults are presented as a fa mily of curves which should be useful in the design of the driv en elem ent for a corner-reflector a n te nna of t he s ize desc ribed in this p aper and for other corner-refl ector a ntenn as with similar p ar a m eters.
