Abstract

Reflectarray antennas combine the advantages of both reflector and phased array antennas. Therefore, they offer low-loss, low-cost solutions for the high gain, beam steering and beam shaping applications. First the current progress and future perspectives regarding the design and analysis of reflectarrays are discussed. Then, recent technological developments and techniques that are used to realize reconfigurability in reflectarrays are presented.
