Abstract :
Using near-field analysis, the influence of large and small disc reflectors used in short-backfire antennas on the radiation impedance of a dipole feed element has been investigated. The effect of each reflector is evaluated separately, and the overall change in the radiation impedance of the dipole is predicted.
