Abstract :
A synthesis technique for reflectarray antennas is here proposed, aimed to allow a multi-frequency design of an antenna whose degrees of freedom are, apart from the standard ones, also the element positions and the reflecting surface shape. The approach is based on a proper multi-frequency formulation that allows to optimize the antenna behavior over a certain bandwidth.
