A cavity-backed antenna is a radiating element mounted in a metal cavity that shapes its radiation pattern, reduces back-lobe radiation, and improves front-to-back ratio. This design is common in defense, aerospace, and satellite communications applications where directional performance, ruggedness, and low profile are essential.
