Effect of dielectric and conducting corner reflectors on V-slot waveguide antenna

Abstract

This paper presents the effect of dielectric and conducting material corner reflectors (CRs) on the antenna parameters of V-slot waveguide antenna (V-SWGA). The beam is sharpened only at optimum angle (?) and position (d) of CR from V-SWGA. The conducting material is more effective than the dielectric material CR in sharpening the beam of V-SWGA.
