ABSTRACT:
Apparatus which overcomes the blockage effect of an object in the path of a beam of RF energy, includes a conformal array of parasitic electrical conductor elements having a length of about .lambda./3 and which are selectively located above the surface of the object, also at a height of about .lambda./3. The parasitic conductor elements operate to duct the RF energy of the beam around the object with minimal loss in gain and effect on the beam's radiation pattern.
