Measurement of a 1.3 m reflectarray antenna in flat panels in Ku band.

Thales Alenia Space has developed a facetted reflectarray, made of five flat panels arranged along an offset parabolic profile, as shown in Figure 1. Faceting the demonstrator is essential for achieving satisfactory RF performances, and especially the largest bandwidth. Many innovative techniques and processes were developed and are reported in [1]. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
