The AL-24304 Rolled Edge Reflector System combines the parabolic central
portion of the reflector with a precisely defined edge surface designed to distribute
the edge currents in an optimal fashion to the benign sections of the room. This
reflector requires a precisely manufactured transition region from the core
parabola to the edge region. ORBIT/FR offers the manufacturing technology
required to successfully achieve this transition, thereby avoiding any discontinuities
that would result in diffraction which may materially affect quiet zone performance.
The rolled edge compact range technology offers a high level of performance at a
higher cost than serrated edge technology in the appropriate anechoic
environment. It also offers somewhat better quiet zone performance that the
equivalent serrated edge system.
