Design of Dual-Polarized Contoured Beam Reflectarrays with Cross-Polar and Sidelobe Suppression

An efficient power pattern synthesis of contoured beam reflectarrays is presented. Using the presented synthesis technique, an offset dual-polarized contoured beam reflectarray to cover an European region with cross-polar and sidelobe suppression has been designed. Simulations show that the presented technique allows the cross-polar and the sidelobe level to be effectively suppressed in given regions.
