Abstract
A deployable reflectarray has a plurality of strips arranged in quadrants forming the reflectarray. The copper ground plane and the copper dipoles are supported by facesheets made of epoxy reinforced by quartz fibers. The copper ground plane is separated from the copper dipoles by S-shaped springs made of epoxy reinforced by quartz fibers, which allow folding and deployment of the reflectarray.
