(under subclass 700) Subject matter wherein the claimed subject matter includes an active antenna designated as a reflector, or includes an energized or active reflector (i.e., coupled to a signal source or to a receiver).
(1) Note. The patents classified in this subclass usually include a plurality of active antennas which are connected to a single transmitter or receiver, and have a significant wave length spacing. The subject matter appears very similar to so-called "end fire arrays". However, in this subclass the rear active antenna (i.e., in the direction opposed to the direction of radiation of the array) is designated in the claim as being a reflector.
