For those that do not realise there are two words in the subject -
PASSIVE REFLECTORS.

Also known as PASSIVE REPEATERS

REFLECTOR or REPEATER means a way to bounce a signal from one point to a
second point via a third point.

PASSIVE means without any active components such as amplifiers and the
like. 

Therefore a PASSIVE REFLECTOR is a REPEATER that bounces a signal
between two points via a third point, without using any active equipment
- basically just retransmitting any energy it recieves. This has
problems in that the signal levels may be too small to be useful, but
the advantage is that it is cheap.

Hope this helps
