Abstract :
The frequency dependence of the direction from which reflected television signals reach the receiver complicates the antenna design necessary to reduce reception of these reflected signals. A formula is derived for the strength of these reflections, and an analysis is made of some reflecting areas in order to find a reason for this frequency dependence. An antenna arrangement that appears particularly useful for reflection reduction is described.
