Abstract

The present invention relates to a radio communication system configured to secondarily-radiate, to a desired area by reflection, primarily-radiated radio waves from a transmitter apparatus, by using a reflector plate for controlling phases of reflected waves, wherein a reflecting property of the reflector plate is set so that the reflector plate reflects the primarily-radiated radio waves as plane waves of equal phase directed to a direction different from a reflection angle in the case of specular reflection.
