Abstract :
In its first part, this paper presents the design and testing of a passive dual frequency printed Fresnel reflector which could be used as ground terminal for Ka-band satellite telecommunication applications. In the second part of the paper, the structure and the performances of an active dual frequency reflecting cell allowing to transform the initial passive antenna into an active reflectarray, are presented.
