REFLECTOR ARRAY AND ANTENNA HAVING SAID REFLECTOR ARRAY Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H01Q21/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a reflector array for a reflector array antenna. The reflector array comprises a plurality of elementary radiating elements forming a reflecting surface with no abrupt transitions, wherein each radiating element of the reflecting surface is selected from a set of predetermined consecutive radiating elements, called the pattern, the first (1) and last (9) elements of the pattern correspond to one phase, modulo 360°, and are identical, and the radiating elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) of the pattern have a radiating structure of metal patch type and/or of radiating aperture type, that gradually changes from one radiating element to another adjacent radiating element, the change in the radiating structure comprising a succession of gradual growths of at least one metal patch (25) and/or at least one aperture (27) and appearances of at least one metal patch (25) in an aperture (27) and/or at least one aperture (27) in a metal patch (25).

EFFECT: eliminating diffraction.
