  • Patent number: 10797401
    Abstract: A first region of a reflection mirror including a center point of the paraboloid of revolution is formed of a conductor. A second region, which is an outer peripheral side of the first region, of the reflection mirror is a region where a plurality of reflection elements, which are conductor patterns, is arranged on a dielectric body overlaid on a base plate conductor. An arrangement pitch of the plurality of reflection elements corresponds to a wavelength of a radio wave in the second frequency band.
