Abstract :
Polarization twisting reflectors, or twist reflectors, consisting of a wire grid spaced approximately 
from a ground plane [1], [2] have a bandwidth of at most 30 percent. It is shown that the inclusion of an additional wire grid in front of the first grid makes bandwidths of 100 percent possible. Design formulas, theoretical performance in terms of cross polarization attenuation, and some experimental results for a twist reflector with two wire grids are given.
