Abstract

This paper presents some recent developments in microwave reflector antenna technology. The main focus of this research is on novel reflector antenna designs to overcome the challenges caused by the rising communication systems. Prototype implementation will be described in this paper; published microwave reflector antenna frequency range, low profile and compact designs, wideband reflector antennas, low sidelobe level, low cross polarization and enhanced gain microwave reflector antenna´s review is brought up.
