Focusing Of 52-GHz Beams By Cylindrical Mirrors (Short papers)
The possibility of using inexpensive commercial glass mirrors for refocusing and redirecting millimeter-wave beams has already been investigated; such beams would be useful for distributing large quantities of information in cities. Interference is expected to be minimal as a result of the close confinement of the beams. We report preliminary experiments made in the 50-55-GHz band, using a swept backward-wave oscillator (BWO) as a source.
