ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for providing small size, high gain corner reflection of radio frequency signals for use in military and commercial applications. Conventional corner reflector practice is combined with electronic amplifying reflection devices such as the superregenerative amplifier to provide an array of antennas and amplifiers spread over each planar surface of a corner reflector. The specific antenna used may be selected from a plurality of various antenna types depending on the application. As in a conventional corner reflector, the amplified signal is reflected at the same angle and in the opposite direction of the incident signal.
