Printed reflectarray applications are significantly increasing in recent years, because they represent an ideal antenna solution, having the same radiating performances of the standard parabolic reflector, but with reduced thickness, since the reflecting surface is planar. Here, we present the preliminary analysis of a prototype dual band planar antenna, realized using the reflectarray technology. The resulting antenna is lightweight, stowable on the roof of a vehicle and easily deployable when in operation.

Abstract

Printed reflectarray applications are significantly increasing in recent years, because they represent an ideal antenna solution, having the same radiating performances of the standard parabolic reflector, but with reduced thickness, since the reflecting surface is planar. Here, we present the preliminary analysis of a prototype dual band planar antenna, realized using the reflectarray technology. The resulting antenna is lightweight, stowable on the roof of a vehicle and easily deployable when in operation.
