Abstract
The propagation of radio waves in indoor and outdoor mobile communications is improved. An electromagnetic wave reflector includes: a panel having a reflecting surface and configured to reflect a radio wave of a desired band selected from frequency bands ranging from 1 GHz to 170 GHz; and a support supporting the panel, and, in this electromagnetic wave reflector, the support has a conductive frame and a non-conductive cover that covers at least part of the frame, and the frame has a slit and a hollow, the slit receiving an end part of the panel, and the hollow being independent of the slit.
Claims10
An electromagnetic wave reflector comprising:
- a panel having a reflecting surface and configured to reflect a radio wave of a desired band selected from frequency bands ranging from 1 GHz to 170 GHz;
- and
- a support supporting the panel,
- wherein the support has a conductive frame and a non-conductive cover that covers at least part of the frame, and
- wherein the frame has a slit and a hollow, the slit receiving an end part of the panel, and the hollow being independent of the slit.
A method of assembling an electromagnetic wave reflector, the method comprising:
- mechanically connecting a first panel and a second panel by using a support,
- the first panel having a first reflecting surface and configured to reflect a radio wave of a desired band selected from frequency bands ranging from 1 GHz to 170 GHz,
- the second panel having a second reflecting surface and configured to reflect the radio wave of the desired band, and
- the support having a non-conductive cover on a surface thereof;
- and
- making a reference potential of reflection continuous between the first reflecting surface and the second reflecting surface by using a conductive frame that is provided inside the non-conductive cover of the support.
