Abstract
A universal antenna reflector providing a constant beam width pattern for any frequency of reflected electromagnetic energy illuminating the reflector is disclosed. The constant beam width reflected pattern is determined only by the characteristics of a particular antenna illuminating the reflector. The reflector is described by a family of curves the physical centers of each of which are coincident with and distributed along a unique backbone curve with each of the family of curves being perpendicular thereto.
