Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus is provided for avoiding pattern blockage due to scatter from an object in which an artificial surface directs the energy from the antenna prior to arriving at a blocking structure such that either the wave fronts of the energy are linear when they arrive at the blocking structure or the phase of the energy incident on the object is adjusted such that the energy reflected from the object is in phase with energy directly from the antenna radiating elsewhere in the far field pattern, or both.
