Design of an Offset Multi-Faceted Reflectarray Antenna

This paper describes the analysis and design of an offset multi-faceted reflectarray structure composed of three identical panels distributed following a parabolic cylinder. Working in Ka-band, the antenna is designed to generate a pencil beam in the broadside direction of the structure. Its performance is compared with a flat reflectarray of similar aperture size. The multi-faceted reflectarray design achieves a significant improvement in band performance compared to its classic single panel version.
