Three-dimensional corner reflection of arbitrary apex angle

A method of analyzing a three-dimensional corner reflector antenna of arbitrary apex angle is given. Expressions have been obtained for the far field of the three-dimensional corner reflector fed by a dipole. The radiation resistance and the directive gain of the antenna have been calculated. The method described is applicable even when the feed dipole is arbitrarily oriented. It is found that the radiation along a prescribed direction can be circularly polarized (right or left) by suitably orienting the feed dipole.
