A reflector unit (300) holds two reflectors (350, 360) at a tilt angle of 45°, allowing the two reflectors (350, 360) to be coaxial and rotatable independently of each other. A joint unit (220) connects the reflector unit (300) and the mounting unit (210). The joint unit (220) has rotational freedom along two axes (AZ axis and EL axis) orthogonal to each other. A radio wave reflecting device that relays, by reflection, radio communications between a first antenna device and a second antenna device distant from each other is thereby provided.

Abstract: An antenna device includes a reflector which forms an offset antenna with a portion of a rotational paraboloid being cut out, and a primary radiator which radiates a beam having an elliptical cone shape to an aperture plane of the reflector. A reflector contour of the aperture plane of the reflector is formed in an elliptical shape along an isolux line of an elliptical beam radiated from the primary radiator. Accordingly, a loss due to spillover of the reflector is compensated for in a space in which the reflector contour of the present embodiment protrudes from a general reflector contour having a virtual elliptical shape formed to be perpendicular to an axis of a beam incident on an aperture plane of the reflector. In a space in which the general reflector contour protrudes from the reflector contour of the present embodiment, degradation of illuminance efficiency of the reflector is compensated.
