The effects of mesh reflecting surfaces upon radiometric measurements
Abstract
Reflector antennas with mesh surfaces have been used in ground and space applications primarily for communication systems. How the requirements for mesh surface reflectors are different for microwave radiometric applications is indicated, a method of measuring the anticipated small dissipation losses of gold-plated mesh using a radiometer system is proposed.
