SATCOM Retrodirective Array [PDF]
We present an in-depth look at the challenges involved in using analog retrodirective arrays for satellite communications (SATCOM). The main technical issues surrounding the development of a retrodirective (self-steering) SATCOM system are given and techniques for mitigating these issues are provided.

Maxwell Fisheye Lens Based Retrodirective Array. [PDF]
AbstractA Maxwell fisheye lens using parallel plate index grading is presented in this study to develop a passive retrodirective antenna array. As a proof-of-concept a design frequency of 10 GHz was selected for fabrication and experiment. The design principals of the lens are discussed, which enables 85% energy flow at the drain probe (also referred ...

Developments in retrodirective array technology
There has been significant interest in retrodirective antennas, especially considering the wealth of applications that could be significantly enhanced, or created, by the use of such technology. There is enormous potential for retrodirective antennas where complicated automatic tracking systems would benefit from being replaced by much simpler systems.
