Abstract

The directivity bandwidth of Fabry-Perot directive antennas is first evaluated theoretically. Then, different techniques are proposed to widen the directivity bandwidth of antennas using Partially Reflecting Surfaces. The bandwidths obtained with the proposed solutions are compared to the bandwidth of a classical Fabry- Perot directive antenna.
