A Plane Reflector Antenna

Use of a reflective plane to direct the radiation pattern from a radiation element.

As usual all results: AS IS, no responsibility assumed.

Calculate using an Isotropic source.

Calculate using the defined dipole.

Note:

The isotropic calculation is purely theoretical and will not give a realisable result.

Using any dipole < 0.5 lambda will not give an optimum result and be difficult to match, especially if a short dipole.
