Single-Layer, Multimode OAM Reflectarray Antennas
In this letter, an innovative ReflectArray (RA) antenna able to radiate in the same direction multiple Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes, is presented: depending on the direction of arrival of the impinging field, the RA radiates a broadside beam carrying on an OAM mode with different index.

Bifocal Dual-Reflectarray Antenna to Generate a Complete Multiple Spot Beam Coverage for Satellite Communications in Ka-Band [PDF]
An axially symmetric dual‐reflectarray antenna is proposed. A main reflectarray is designed to mimic a paraboloidal main reflector, and a sub‐reflectarray is designed to mimic a hyperboloidal or an ellipsoidal sub‐reflector. The dual‐reflectarray antenna is more compact than the conventional curved dual reflector.
