REFLECTARRAY ANTENNA WITH TWO-DIMENSIONAL BEAM SCANNING

Examples disclosed herein relate to a reflectarray antenna system with two-dimensional beam scanning that includes a first reflectarray having a polarizing grid that operates as a reflective surface in a first polarization and operates as a transparent surface in a second polarization. The reflectarray antenna system includes a second reflectarray comprising an array of reflectarray cells and arranged parallel to the first reflectarray. The second reflectarray includes a first set of feed elements arranged along a first axis and a second set of feed elements arranged along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis to scan a field of view along the first and second axes. The second reflectarray can radiate radio frequency (RE) beams in the first polarization with the first and second sets of feed elements for reflection at the polarizing grid and radiate reflected RE beams in the second polarization for transmission through the polarizing grid.
