ABSTRACT:
A construction for shielding microwave antennas is disclosed including a plurality of RF reflective modular panels positioned to surround a microwave antenna location. Each modular panel has the surface of at least one side adapted to reflect RF signals away from the antenna location. The construction includes a frame for supporting the panels, and a means for connecting the panels to the frame. In the preferred embodiment, the panels are reflective of RF signals on both sides of the panel, with the side of the panel facing the antenna location reflecting RF signals upward and the side away from the antenna location reflecting signals downward. The preferred embodiment also includes dual inclined-step reflectors to achieve the directional reflection, preferrably prepared with a cross-section defining a plurality of linked Z's.
