a. Most
radar
sets
use
an
with
some
type
of
parabolic
reflector.
b. A dish reflector concentrates the energy into a narrow cone-shaped
beam.
c. An orange peel reflector concentrates the energy into a beam narrow
in one plane and broad in the other plane.
d. Radar reflectors
are
usually
fed
with
a
dipole,
a
horn,
or
a
resonant cavity.
