Abstract :
The paper gives an overview of research activities on reflectarrays. It revisits the original concept of reflectarray and describes how its realization evolved over the last three decades. Fixed-beam and electronically steered varieties of this antenna are considered. Special considerations are devoted to a slot-coupled double-sided microstrip interconnect for use in reflectarrays and transmitarrays.
