Abstract
An experimental investigation of a novel corner reflector antenna with improved performance is reported. The corner reflector antenna has been structurally modified by attaching two more reflector elements. The parameters such as the primary corner angle, position, width and angle of the secondary elements have significant effects on the H-plane radiation characteristics of the antenna. Certain symmetric configurations of this triple corner reflector (TCR) antenna provide sharp beams with a gain of the order of 3 dB over that of the conventional corner reflector (CR) antenna
