Radiation From Reflector Antenna of Finite Thickness and Conductivity in Resonant Scattering Band

Abstract

A method is proposed for calculating the radiation characteristics of a reflector antenna in the resonant wavelength range. The method uses the solution of the problem of electromagnetic field scattering from a well-conducting non-closed screen of finite thickness. This problem is solved by an E-field integral equation and on approximate boundary conditions by Leontovich, which are applied onto a surface of a well-conducting screen.
