Reflectarray Antennas: Theory, Designs, and Applications (IEEE AP-S Distinguished Lecture)

#Antennas #Reflectarray

In recent years, reflectarrays have emerged as the new generation of high-gain antennas, which have attracted increasing interest in the antenna community because of their low-profile, low-mass, and low-cost features. The reflectarray antenna is a hybrid design, which combines the many favorable features of reflectors and printed arrays and offers many notable advantages over these two classic high-gain antennas. The aim of this seminar is to present a comprehensive overview of the reflectarray design and state-of-the-art technology. It will enable attendees to understand the basics of reflectarray systems, become familiar with reflectarray analysis techniques and enabling technologies, and apply this knowledge to designing reflectarrays for diversified applications.
