Title:
CORNER REFLECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/008513
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This corner reflector is provided with: flexible and airtight hollow annular balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) which, when a gas is supplied internally, expand due to the gas pressure and become ring-shaped; and a radio wave reflecting film (5), the outer peripheral edge of which is attached to the annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) in such a manner as to deploy along an annular flat plane due to the expansion of the annular hollow balloons. The three annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) are disposed in such a manner as to be orthogonal to each other when expanded. A restraint member (7), which prevents the annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) from expanding beyond a limited volume, is attached to the outer surface of the annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c).
