Multibeam Reflectarrays in Ka-Band for Efficient Antenna Farms Onboard Broadband Communication Satellites

Broadband communication satellites in Ka-band commonly use four reflector antennas to generate a multispot coverage. In this paper, four different multibeam antenna farms are proposed to generate the complete multispot coverage using only two multibeam reflectarrays, making it possible to halve the...
