Cosecant squared antenna
text:
A cosecant squared antenna, sometimes known as a constant height pattern, is a modified form of parabolic reflector used in some radar systems. It is shaped to send more radio energy in certain directions in order to smooth out the reception pattern of objects as their range changes in relation to the radar. The name refers to the fact that the amount of energy returned from a target drops off with the square of the cosecant of the angle between the radar and the target.
