  • Apparatus and method for reducing polarization cross-coupling in cross dipole reflectarrays
    Publication number: 20010050653
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving polarization purity of a reflectarray that eliminates cross-coupling between orthogonal polarizations. A first embodiment of the present invention is a grid layer that separates two layers of orthogonal dipole elements. A second embodiment of the present invention is a reflectarray having an array of dipole elements in which each dipole element is gridded to prevent cross-coupling between orthogonal polarizations.
