For a parabolic reflector antenna, a simple method is presented for computing efficiently the average power pattern degradations caused by the surface roughness of the reflector and misalignments between the reflector and the feed. In this procedure, both nonuniform surface errors and nonuniform illuminations are employed. The assumptions to derive the expressions are that in each annular region of the antenna, the rms value of the surface roughness is known, and in a zone in a annular region, the phase error by misalignments is constant, and can be taken to its value at the center of the zone. Detailed parametric studies are performed with derived expressions to determine the effects of those errors and illumination tapers on parameters such as gain and sidelobe levels.

In this paper, we present the analysis of a novel monopole antenna with a reflector. The proposed monopole antenna is printed on a TRF-45 substrate, and the reflector, which is positioned near the base of the antenna, is printed on the FR-4 substrate. Positioning the reflector near the base of the antenna was found to suppress current radiation toward the back of the monopole antenna. Comparative analysis of the proposed monopole antenna and a conventional monopole antenna without a reflector revealed that the bandwidths of the antenna with and without a reflector were 2.65 GHz and 2.88 GHz, respectively. Additionally, the antenna without a reflector was observed to have a bi-directional radiation pattern in the E-plane, and an omni-directional radiation pattern in the H-plane. However, only the antenna with a reflector was found to suppress back radiation, and provide non-uniform directional radiation in the E-plane and H-plane.

In this paper, the 26 GHz band omnidirectional antenna that produces an isotropic radiation pattern in the azimuth plane and a directive radiation pattern in the elevation plane was designed by using reflector antennas. To investigate the reliability of the designed antenna, that was analyzed by using the aperture field method and the calculated value was compared with the measured value. An good agreement was achieved between the calculated characteristics and the experimental performance. We found that the designed antenna in this paper can be used as the omnidirectional antenna with reflectors and the analysis method in this paper can be used for the analysis of this type antenna.

This paper represents the impact analysis results of antenna reflector for the UHF-band antenna of Space Launch Vehicle. Three types of UHF-band antenna reflector model have been proposed and simulated to compare their characteristics such as resonance frequency, reflection loss and radiation pattern etc. Simulation results showed that resonance frequency and return loss of each reflector models were rarely affected even if reflector sizes are changed. The antenna gain and 3dB bandwidth were slightly changed to the worse directions as the reflector sizes are smaller.

This paper presents hybrid antenna(HA) design based on shaped reflector for mobile satellite communication. HA is composed of a shaped reflector and a feeder having $1{\times}8$ linear phased array, and reflector shaping method is applied for the performance optimization with minimum aperture size. And, in the feeder design, HA has another merit to minimize the manufacturing cost by optimizing the number of element. Proposed HA is designed at Ka-band and can electrically control a beam pattern within ${\pm}3^{\circ}$ in the basic angle of $+45^{\circ}$ in elevation. This antenna is designed to meet ITU-R S.465-5 for beam pattern including side-lobe level.

In this paper, a novel physical structure for planar spiral inductors is proposed. The spiral inductors were designed and fabricated on multi-layered substrate Bragg-reflector/silicon (BR/Si) wafer. The impacts of multi-layered structure substrate and pattern on characteristics of inductor were studied. Experimental results show that the inductor embedded on Bragg reflector/silicon substrate can achieve the best improvement. At 0.4-1.6 GHz, the Bragg reflector seems to significantly increase the S11-parameter of the inductor.

In this paper, W-type reflector antennas modified from corner reflector antenna structure were proposed and the radiation characteristics were analyzed using the method of moments. The analysis results such as gain, F/B, half power beamwidth, and radiation pattern are presented as functions of dipole height h and back edge spacing d. Also, the proposed antenna was compared with corner reflector antennas in the same size of side reflectors, W-type reflector antenna was found to exhibit somewhat higher gain and larger F/B than corner reflector antennas. To verify the analysis results, W-type reflector antenna was fabricated and the radiation characteristics were measured. The measured results show good agreement with the calculated results.

This paper proposes a unidirectional beam antenna using a probe excited circular ring near the reflector. The antenna structure is simple. The radiation characteristics of the antenna fur various spacing between a probe excited circular ring and the reflector are analyzed. These characteristics are also compared with the conventional single aperture near the reflector. It is found that the proposed structure yields better characteristics than the conventional structure. The numerical results of the radiation pattern, elevational beam peak, beamwidth, and maximum directivity are investigated. The result of the analysis is very useful to design the antenna of the high directivity with unidirectional beam.

To improve the utilization efficiency of solar energy, a new solar optical concentrating system composed of a parabolic reflector with a square cross-section, a hyperbolic reflector with a square cross-section and two converging convex lenses has been designed. The proposed method can simultaneously focus and shape sun light into a square pattern on the solar panel. In addition, the total reflection property of photonic crystal within the range of the visible sunlight spectrum has been analyzed. Finally, the relationship between solar concentrating multiples and the diameter of the primary mirror has been discussed.
