Abstract
The Van Atta reflector array is an array in which the elements are interconnected to reradiate received energy back in the direction of arrival. Scattering cross section measurements on a four-by-four Van Atta array of sixteen dipoles are presented. This array reflects over a wider angle than the typical corner reflector, but is sensitive only to incident waves in the frequency band of and having the polarization of the dipoles.Keywords
