Abstract
A 60GHz planar reflector with endfire radiation is studied as a possible solution for passive repeaters in T-shaped corridor configurations. It uses grooves with appropriate depths in a ground plane and enjoys low cost and great convenience in fabrication. The design of the unit-cell and array for endfire radiation is discussed. A preliminary prototype is optimized.
