Abstract :
This work presents the recent developments performed on dual reflectarray antennas for space applications, including analysis and design techniques for dual reflectarray configurations, bandwidth improvement and reduction of cross-polarization. First, a general analysis technique for these configurations is described. Second, results for beam scanning and contoured-beam applications in different frequency bands are shown and discussed.
