Abstract (en)

The embedded wires are arranged parallel or in the form of a grid, and are embedded in thermoplastic material. The structure acts as the reflector for a microwave antenna and focuses received signals onto a feed element. The aerial is constructed from electrically conducting wires (1) situated at a distance from each other, and embedded in the surface of a sheet of thermoplastic material. The wires may be parallel, or may form a grid, and the sheet of material forming the aerial may be concave. The wires lie nearer to one surface of the plastic than the other and have a separation between 0.003 mm and 1.5 cm, whilst the diameter of the wires lies in the range 0.005 - 5mm. The thickness of the plastic is between 0.5 mm and 1 cm and may be coloured or transparent.
