Abstract
The reflector consists of a ground plane, enclosed in a ground plane frame, and a phasing plane, enclosed in a phasing plane frame. Spacers maintain the planes in connected, spaced relationship. The phasing plane includes a plurality of reactive elements sensitive to different frequencies in the bandwidth of the reflector. Thus, an E-M wave directed at the reflector is reflected to the angle of the received wave.
