Abstract :
A one-meter reflectarray has been designed for a DBS European coverage in a 15% frequency band (10.95- 12.75 GHz). The reflectarray is made of three stacked layers of printed arrays with rectangular patches. The dimensions of the staked patches are optimised in each element to ensure the required coverage at live frequencies in the working band. The radiation patterns fulfil the contour requirements for both H- and V- polarisation in the required frequency band.
