94 GHz Zonal rings reflector for helicopter collision avoidance

Description

A single-layer reflector antenna combining eight and four correcting Fresnel zones is presented. The progressive phase shift is achieved by circular and annular patches. The choice of a quarter-wavelength thickness substrate provides naturally 0 and 180° correcting zones that simplify the reflector design. A prototype of reflector antenna working at 94 GHz has been designed, built and measured. Measurement results show 70% improvement of antenna aperture efficiency compared to the half-wave Fresnel zone plate reflector .
