An investigation on accurate analysis of microstrip reflectarrays is presented. Sources of error in reflectarray analysis are examined and solutions to these issues are proposed. The focus is on two sources of error, namely the determination of the equivalent currents…

This paper concerns the EM-modelling of high-accuracy reflector antenna systems, and in particular of reflectors for space antenna systems. Recent modelling developments are exemplified ranging from general software enhancements to meet customer needs, over specific developments on a particular demanding…

GRASP has for many years constituted the de facto standard in the space community for advanced reflector antenna modeling. The tool has furthermore found widespread use in the earth station segment and within the VSAT industry, as well as for…

The accuracy of various techniques for calculating the radiation from printed reflectarrays is examined, and an improved technique based on the equivalent currents approach is proposed. The equivalent currents are found from a continuous plane wave spectrum calculated by use…

Full-wave reflectors antenna modelling, especially when fed by strongly-interacting radiating structures, e.g. arrays coming into the reflector field-of-view, can be a difficult task for a single tool, which is typically not able to manage multi-scale sub-problems. This communication addresses the…
