Short-backfire (SBF) antennas can be simply converted into highly directive and efficient array elements. Each SBF element is the equivalent of four to six dipo

The short backfire (SBF) antenna consisting of a large reflector illuminated by a dipole feed and smaller disk reflector produces a gain of 15 dB above isotropi

A four-element short-backfire array was designed, fabricated, and experimentally tested for use as a receiving antenna of low level atmospheric noise at 920 MHz

Four-element short-backfire (SBF) arrays have been shown to yield maximum gains of approximately 20 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patte

Sixteen-element short-backfire arrays have been shown to yield maximum gains of approximately 25 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patterns
