ABSTRACT:
A corner reflector antenna array capable of being driven by a coaxial feed line is disclosed herein. The antenna array comprises a substantially right-angle corner reflector having first and second reflecting surfaces. A dielectric substrate is positioned adjacent the first reflective surface, and defines first and second opposing substrate surfaces. In the preferred implementation the dielectric substrate is oriented substantially parallel to, but spaced from, the second reflective surface. The antenna array further includes a plurality of dipole elements, each of the dipole elements including a first half dipole disposed on the first substrate surface and a second half dipole disposed on the second substrate surface. A twin line interconnection network, disposed on both the first and second substrate surfaces, carries signal energy to and from the plurality of dipole elements. The segments of the interconnection network immediately proximate the dipole elements are preferably oriented normal to the radiation emitted thereby, and are thereby prevented from interfering with the antenna radiation pattern. A printed circuit balun is used to connect the center and outer conductors of a coaxial feed line to the segments of the interconnection network disposed on the first and second substrate surfaces, respectively.
