Abstract :
A folded reflectarray antenna with scanning beam ability is studied. In this configuration, the antenna waveguide feed position is shifted in x and y directions to tilt the antenna beam in E and H planes. The simulated results show that longer the shifted distances, the higher the tilted angle can be reached. The test antenna is designed at 60GHz.
